Joe Soap and the Knights of the Cnihtengild

by Nick Flittner

Why are there medieval knights rampaging around the Underground stations of modern London, harvesting body parts? What is the connection between the Queen of England and King Edgar, first king of England in 959 AD? And who is the mysterious woman in red who is sometimes Clara and sometimes Wulfthryth and sometimes nobody at all? Joe Soap, retired angel and modern day sleuth, is on the case. With his faithful dog Truncheon and a band of odd and eccentric characters he will try to find out what the heck is going on. A mug of tea and a bacon sandwich from the Rosie Lea Cafe always helps things along. This is the first book in the series The Chronicles of Joe Soap, tales of fact and fiction (mostly fiction, and even the facts can be a little twisted) set in 21st century London. Time travel to Othertimes is facilitated by The Clockmaker, a man with an enormous pendulum and a big set of keys. Joe Soap has friends in high and very low places. Join him as he attempts to crack the case, and thereby be able to afford the rent.
