Product Description

Product Description

The country's number one author of medieval murder mysteries brings us a riveting tale of murder and intrigue in the King's Court. It is 1324, and the kingdom is in uproar. Escaping from the Tower, Roger Mortimer - the King's most hated enemy - makes his way to France, and hires an assassin to murder the King. But just as his plans begin to succeed, the plot is uncovered, and the assassin flees the city. Then the body of a local craftsman and that of a King's messenger are found in the city's streets and Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, the Keeper of the King's Peace and his friend Bailiff Simon Puttock, are asked by the Bishop to find out who was responsible. The dead messenger was carrying a dangerous secret and the Bishop is desperate to have his message returned to him before anyone else discovers its contents. Baldwin and Simon are reluctant to get involved, but the politics of the nation and of their patrons are growing ever more insistent, and the two must find the murderer before he can strike again. But when murderers can use magic, no one is safe...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in the Series, 13 Dec 2006
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
Michael Jecks gave up a career in the computer industry when he began writing the internationally successful Templar series. Well all I can say is the Computer Industries loss is the reader's gain. He has now written about a score of the Knights Templar mystery books featuring Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and Bailiff Simon Puttock and there are more to follow. Michael's books are full of intrigue and mystery and they are particularly well researched. Mr. Jecks lives in the area he writes about and I am sure this must assist him a great deal with his background research.

1324, and there is much unrest in the England. The King has many enemies but the foremost among them Roger Mortimer has escaped from London's supposedly impregnable Tower. He has escaped to France and is making his plans to murder the King. But just as it seems his plans will succeed, the plot is uncovered and the hired assassin escapes the city.

Then the body of a local man and that of a King's messenger are in found in the streets of the city. The Bishop calls upon Sir Baldwin and his long time associate and friend, Bailiff Simon Puttock, to investigate the deaths and bring the culprit to justice. The messenger was carrying a dangerous secret and the Bishop is overwrought at the thought that it may fall into the wrong hands. Before it can be returned to his safe keeping. Sir Baldwin is reluctant to get involved, but he is a staunch royalist and will do anything within his power to protect his King and country. Can the pair find the murderer before he strikes again.
