Lucifer's Harvest by Mel Starr
Prince Edward (aka Edward of Woodstock, known to us as the Black Prince) is raising an army to go to France to win back English territory taken by the King of France. Lord Gilbert Talbot is required to provide soldiers for Edward's army, and he wants his surgeon, Master Hugh de Singleton, to accompany him and his men. Hugh's old nemesis, Sir Simon Trillowe, is also with the army. When Sir Simon is found dead, Hugh finds himself as both suspect and sleuth as he must work to clear himself of the crime.
Shorter than previous books in the series, but Hugh gets a lot done in fewer pages. Great characters in this series as well as solid historical research. This is the ninth book in the series. Highly recommended for fans of historical fiction.
