The story starts out with a tournament scene that seems unrelated to the story, but as the mystery Crowner John is involved in solving unwinds it becomes clear that it's an integral part of the story. Chivalric code be damned when there's other passions to be served.

I'm always thankful of my current place in time as I read about the lifestyle and the justice system of the medeival period. A fast read.
