OVERVIEW
Camelot is in disarray! Mordred, evil nephew of King Arthur, has escaped from his place of captivity in the castle dungeons. And his guard, Sir Lancelot, lies stabbed to death in Mordred's open cell. First impressions would suggest that Mordred, having inveigled Sir Lancelot into his cell, killed him and then made his escape. But Merlin's magical thumbs are prickling, warning him that the solution is not so simple. A panel of knight investigators are going to help him solve the crime.
