A series of historical murder mystery novels by Alan Gordon, set at the time that the The High Middle Ages was starting to tail off, detailing the adventures of Theophilos, a jester belonging to the titular Guild, an organisation that is basically You Meddling Kids taken to Machiavellian extremes. There are eight novels in total, though hopefully more will be forthcoming without readers having to resort to standing on the author's lawn with a box of cakes in one hand and a pitchfork in the other.

  • A series of historical murder mystery novels by Alan Gordon, set at the time that the The High Middle Ages was starting to tail off, detailing the adventures of Theophilos, a jester belonging to the titular Guild, an organisation that is basically You Meddling Kids taken to Machiavellian extremes. The Guild's self-imposed remit (executed either via subtle manipulation or just bumping the right people off at the right time) is to prevent wars, or failing that, to end them as quickly as possible, all while keeping the whole thing secret and trying not to piss off a Corrupt Church that seems to be losing its patience with them. One of the series' more beguiling ideas is that Theophilos was Feste, the Clown from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. He's also hinted to be the Fool in King Lear. The first book in the series is a sequel to Twelfth Night, which sees Theophilos going back to Illyria incognito to solve the murder of the Duke. There are eight novels in total, though hopefully more will be forthcoming without readers having to resort to standing on the author's lawn with a box of cakes in one hand and a pitchfork in the other.
