Product Description
Product Description
Bailiff Simon Puttock's servant, Hugh, has been granted leave to look after his wife Constance and help raise her child. One day she is attacked and raped by a gang of men at her home. She sees her son being murdered and then her man, Hugh is struck down, before she is killed and the house set on fire. When Simon and Sir Baldwin Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace, arrive on the scene, the cottage has burned to the ground and the body of the child lies outside. Inside there is a woman's torso, badly burned, but no remains of Hugh. The fire raged so fiercely, all believe Hugh died inside. However, things are not so simple, and not only does Simon vow revenge, there are dark forces lurking which will cause no end of mischief and bloodshed.

Just As Good as All The Other Stories,
By
This review is from: A Friar's Bloodfeud (Audio Cassette)
For those readers who are familiar with Michael Jecks books, this one is just as good as all the rest. For those who have not read Michael Jecks, but like historical novels, particularly about medieval England, you are in for all real treat. The two main characters in the books are Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and Bailiff Simon Puttock. Sir Baldwin is an ex Crusader knight, who has managed to escape the wrath of the French King who ordered the destruction of the Order and all of its members. Sir Baldwin is now the head of the family manor after the death of his brother and is also Keeper of the King's Peace in Devon. Word reaches Simon that a gang of men have broken into the house of his servant Hugh and attacked the family. When Simon reaches the cottage he find it burnt to the ground and the bodies already buried. It would seem that Hugh must have perished in a dreadful accident, but Simon and Sir Baldwin begin to suspect that there is much more to it than that

This review is from: A Friar's Bloodfeud (Knights Templar Mysteries (Headline)) (Paperback)
Part of a continuiing story of two courageous men in a very uncertain time. Part of a series in which you become very familiar with the characters and feel the need to follow their adventures. Well written and intriguing to read if you enjoy historical novels.
