Summary
The Tracker pursues mystical documents said to conjure demons while hunting for a monstrous killer in this medieval mystery with "an appealing noirish air" (Booklist).
Since losing his knighthood, Crispin Guest has reinvented himself as an investigator for hire known as the Tracker. But his reputation will once again be put to the test with his latest case. Jacob of Provençal, a Jewish physician at the king's court, is missing a set of documents that he claims contain the power to bring forth a dangerous demon.
Meanwhile, it seems a monster has already been unleashed on the city. Vulnerable street children are being abducted and murdered, their mutilated bodies the only clues left behind. With the help of his orphaned servant, Jack, it is up to Crispin to unravel the grim tangle of mystery and murder.
This third installment of the Crispin Guest Medieval mysteries was nominated for a Romantic Times Award and was a finalist for the Macavity Award.

Have to say this is good
Only have to say because this review site will not accept text if one gives low star ratings. In fact the book is mediocre and the accent of the reader is appalling, something of a cross between Winston Churchill and some ancient English vicar. He cannot pronounce words appropriately. This really irritates when he pronounces passage as paassage.
Why not get someone who can do a passable English accent to read it.

Boring, predictable and not well written
Rather boring and over-the-top "dramaticised" story. And I wish the author would learn something about Jewish culture (apart from obvious and superfluos things she quotes) before writing about them. I regret I wasted money on this and will not recommend anyone to buy it.
