2000s: A man is found dead in the judge’s chair inside the Great Hall of Oakham Castle
Moment of Truth
What you need to know before your trail
A man is found dead in the judge’s chair inside the Great Hall of Oakham Castle, beaten to death with a ceremonial horseshoe.
As Rutland Police investigate, they discover the victim was a charitable, public-spirited man who only ever wanted to help others. So who wanted to kill him so brutally? And why?
DI Caroline Hills and DS Dexter Antoine are left disoriented and dejected. But the discovery of a shadowy and mysterious figure leads them onto a trail of deep corruption — one that will take them far from Rutland. And it seems their victim wasn’t quite the man he made himself out to be.
Is anyone ever truly innocent?

Oakham Castle
Oakham Castle is the focus of this novel and is a very interesting place in real life for many reasons – Known for its collection of massive horseshoes, it’s also recognised as one of the best examples of domestic Norman architecture in England.
It is a Grade I listed building, and lots of marriages take place there. Admission is free, so take your book and read in the grounds.
