Chaucere - Camelot Noir, #1

From the author of the #1 Kindle Bestselling Epic Fantasy Detective Strongoak and the Case of the Dead Elf, a new saga begins. This is Camelot Noir. Almost against his will, the Sword-for-Hire known simply as Chaucere, finds himself back in his native land and the burgeoning city of Camelot. It turns out Camelot is now the perfect place for a man of his talents because, when there is nobody else available to help the common folk, Chaucere, and his sword, is always at hand; for a reasonable price. Chaucer becomes involved with machinations surrounding King Arthur's young Queen Guinevere, which brings him to the attention of the formidable Merlin.
Forced to become his cat's paw, Chaucere finds, and falls foul of Lord Hudde and his true boss, who has an unexpected secret connection to the King who pulled the Sword from the Stone. But Chaucere has his own secret and he dare not reveal that, not if he wants to save the dream of a Kingdom of Britain.
