"I told you," said Gaillard, upon being pressed once more for information, "all I know is that he was found by his scribe. And that his genitals were gone."

Raymond Maillot is a lustful young notary who prefers wine, women and song to the pursuit of professional renown.
But when he's employed by Father Amiel, a sober Dominican monk charged with investigating a particularly shocking murder, his life begins to change.
Now Raymond is torn between his taste for irresponsible pleasures and his desire to find refuge in the Church.
His journey of self-discovery, however, begins with a severed penis.
The Notary by award-winning writer Catherine Jinks is a tantalisingly cryptic tale of dismemberment, debauchery and demonic visitation in fourteenth-century France.
