<DIV><B>From master of suspense Ellis Peters come two chilling tales of justice, deception, and revenge</B><BR /><BR /> The jury foreman trembles as he delivers the verdict. After a grueling trial, the erudite and elegant Louis Stevenson has been found guilty of murder&mdash;and sentenced to death. A ripple of excitement goes through the courtroom, and Stevenson rises to make a final statement. He&rsquo;s innocent, he insists, and for condemning him, he swears cosmic vengeance on four men: the prosecutor, the foreman, the judge, and the true killer of Zo&euml; Trevor. On their heads, he places the Assize of the Dying, a medieval curse that ensures they&rsquo;ll be dead within a month.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> In &ldquo;The Assize of the Dying&rdquo; and &ldquo;Aunt Helen,&rdquo; Ellis Peters is at her best&mdash;and murder and elegance go hand in hand.<BR /> &#160;</DIV>
