Foul play is suspected when the corpse of a young woman is unearthed after twenty years in this "well-crafted" Roger the Chapman novel (Publishers Weekly).

England, 1481. As land is being cleared for a new chapel to be dedicated to the three kings of Cologne, the remains of Isabella Linkinhorne are discovered. Known to have had three secret lovers, Isabella had disappeared twenty years earlier. Alderman John Foster, the mayor of Bristol, commissions Roger the Chapman to determine if one of her three suitors did her in. Faced with the task of tracking down three people about whom he knows next to nothing, Roger nicknames them Caspar, Balthazar, and Melchior, after the three kings. Will the perceptive peddler be able to solve this twenty-year-old mystery?

The Three Kings of Cologne is the sixteenth book in the Roger the Chapman series.
