The Notary
3 journalers for this copy...
"I told you Gaillard, upon being pressed once more for information, all I know is that he was slain and found by his scribe. And that his genitals were gone."
"gone" I exclaimed.
"Not there. Vanished"
"Somebody stole them?"
"A nun" Othon remarked, unleashed a shout of laughter.
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 particulary 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 pen*s.
The Notary by award winning writer Catherine Jinks is a tantalisingly cryptic tale of dismemberment, debauchery and demonic visitation in fourteenth century France.

I didnt read this book - I actually could not bring myself to open it and read one page, but someone will appreciate it.
I am taking this book to the Gold Coast BC meet up tomorrow at Kurrawa Surf Club, If no one claims it I will wild release somewhere around the area.

I never skim books. I either read or don't read them. I did skim this one. Not really to my taste though and I will release it soon.
Controlled release yesterday 1pm 5/9/07 @ Bracken Ridge TAFE Cafe, Norris Rd, Bracken Ridge, Brisbane, Qld.
