First published in Great Britain in 1993.
In 1086, England's mighty king, William the Conqueror, sends out surveyors and census-takers to record the resources of his land and its people. Wherever the king's men go they bring excitement, and sometimes murder. In ancient Bedwyn town, the king's Domesday researchers are suddenly faced with the violent death of the very man whose claims have drawn them there -- a wealthy miller, savaged by a wolf in Savernake Forest. Two of the king's men, soldier Ralph Delchard and lawyer Gervase Bret, must investigate not only questionable land claims but the miller's death as well.
