When a crowd of ten thousand all men, not a female in sight assembled on the common land known as Monkenheath in memory of Loy Tanners raggle-taggle army of 1549, Detective Inspector Ben Jurnet and the aldermen of Angleby were apprehensive. Would the vigil of the sober crowd no hash, no alcohol end in the same rape and carnage as that of the bellicose throng of four and a half centuries ago? Was this contemporary phenomenon a disaster waiting to happen? The tenuous peace of the vast gathering was shattered when Charlie Appleyard, the mobs Messiah in Levis, spiritual heir to Loy Tanner, was found dead at the house of the towns nicest nymphomaniac, Jenny Nunn. Not until the untidy rabble was pouring into Angleby, as Tanners army had done all those centuries ago, did the forces of law and order spring into action. Death of a Hero is the eighth and last of S. T. Haymons Ben Jurnet crime novels.
