A Murder Of Crows: A Sir Robert Carey Mystery - Plot & Excerpts

And in point of fact, if what you have told me is correct, I believe that Mr. Heneage may be vulnerable to a charge of coining and uttering false coin himself, with your brother and the apothecary Mr. Cheke as witnesses against him.” Carey whistled through his teeth. “I thought we couldn’t prove that?” Enys shrugged. “Heneage will bring oath-swearers to disagree but it will depend on the judge. It’s arguable. At this stage it doesn’t have to be provable.”
