Description: Inspired by the classical ancient world and authors such as C J Sansom Retribution is the second Drakenfeld novel in Mark Charan Newton's thrilling fantasy crime series. When justice fails revenge follows Having just solved a difficult case in his home city of Tryum Sun Chamber Officer Lucan Drakenfeld and his associate Leana are ordered to journey to the exotic city of Kuvash in Koton where a revered priest has gone missing. When they arrive they discover the priest has already been found - or at least parts of him have. But investigating the unusual death isn't a priority for the legislature of Kuvash; there's a kingdom to run a census to create and a dictatorial Queen to placate. Soon Drakenfeld finds that he is suddenly in charge of an investigation in a strange city whose customs and politics are as complex as they are dangerous. Kuvash is a city of contradictions; wealth and poverty exist uneasily side - by - side and behind the rich fa ades of gilded streets and buildings all levels of depravity and decadence are practised. When several more bodies are discovered mutilated and dumped in a public place Drakenfeld realizes there's a killer at work who seems to delight in torture and pain. With no motive no leads and no suspects he feels like he's running out of options. And in a city where nothing is as it seems seeking the truth is likely to get him killed
