The Sir Law Kintour Mysteries drop a detective into 15th-century Scotland. Sir Law is a knight tasked with investigating murders during the reign of King James I, when political scheming made violent death a regular occurrence.

The series started with The Templar’s Cross in 2015 and has grown to six books. Tomlin uses the mystery format to explore the dangers of court politics and religious conflict in medieval Scotland, while the whodunit structure keeps each book moving at a good pace.
