The Roman Empire has fallen and Britannia has descended into chaos. Posterity will name this the Dark Ages.

Jeremiah Crow and Agnes Redfoot lead a rag-tag troupe of actors assembled from all corners of the known world. In the days before theatres, these nomads travel the length and breadth of the country, performing plays and singing songs about the places they’ve been and things they’ve seen. They are paid most handsomely when they tell gruesome stories of ‘murther’. The everyday folk are as eager as they are afraid for gory entertainment.

However, as they collect these stories, they begin to see patterns emerging amongst the worst of these slayings. Could it be that they are being committed by the same person?

Relying only on information they themselves can gather from witnesses or from the crime scenes, a portrait of evil starts to emerge… Today, we would say these bohemians were using basic forensics to profile a serial killer, but this is a world before science and where superstition trumps fact. This is a time when people believed in dragons and giants and curses had more currency than common sense.

How will they convince anyone of their dreadful suspicion? And will they find the answers they need before the killer strikes again?

MURTHER is a mystery shrouded in myth. To solve it, we are guided by a company of raucous, raunchy misfits who have no idea that their wild imagination and sharp wit foreshadowes the future.
