Product Description

Product Description

The new riveting novel from the West Country's medieval crime master Michael Jecks.

King Edward II is furious when he learns that his wife Queen Isabella has defied him and remains in France with their son. As the unfortunate messengers of this unhappy news, Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace, and his friend, bailiff Simon Puttock, are instantly dismissed from court. Returning to their homes in Devon, the pair are shocked to find that outlaws now hold sway in the land and the chaos escalates as the bodies of two clerics are found among a party of travellers...

About the Author

Michael Jecks gave up a career in the computer industry to concentrate on writing and the study of medieval history, especially that of Devon and Cornwall. He lives with his family in northern Dartmoor.

5.0 out of 5 stars The tension mounts, the plot thickens...., 21 Aug 2009
By Kay Terry "Kay" (Vasse Western Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No Law in the Land (Knights Templar Mysteries 27) (Paperback)
No 27 in the series and the tension increases as life becomes more difficult and dangerous for Baldwin and Simon, still trying to walk a fine line between their loyal duty to the King and their own senses of decency and right. This book moves forward in developing its characterisation, to include as a main character the daughter of Simon, whose adventure involves her being used as bait in the Despenser's attempt to trap and destroy Simon, and whom regular readers will have watched grow from babyhood - and the ending indicates that Edith will face a challenge in her own right.
The pace of this story continues the pattern of the previous 26 books (all thoroughly recommended, for people who enjoy the development of character, as much as the solving of the crimes) and Michael continues to teach about the horrors of the 14th century at the same time that he entertains. This book leaves the reader, (well, me, at least), panting for the next book and in impatient suspense.
Top crime, top adventure, great characterisation, and the reader learns so much about Devon in the early 1300's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving toward Civil War, 1 Aug 2009
By John "John75222" (Leeds, Yorkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No Law in the Land (Knights Templar Mysteries 27) (Paperback)
This latest book in the Knights Templar series is begining to take us inexorably towards the conflict between Edward II and his Queen and Mortimer. Michael Jecks in developing the characters in the midst of a 14th century minefield gives the reader the opportunity to stop and think what dilemmas must have faced individuals in that time. Like all good historical detective fiction (Lindsey Davis, David Wishart, Steven Saylor, Peter Tremayne, Susanna Gregory and John Maddox Roberts to name but six) Jecks weaves a marvellously plotted plausible story in amongst mostly historical fact using very little license. It is going to be interesting in future (I presume there will be more) books to see how Jecks manages to balance Baldwin's honourable defense of the right of his King to rule and the up and coming civil was between Isabella and Edward that ultimately leads to Edwards death. Sides will have to be taken and the consequences of picking the wrong one is going to be fatal, treading a middle path is not going to be easy. I only hope that the movement of Baldwin and Simon between the rival factions means that Jecks has found the way to keep them both out of harms way. We'll see.

As usual with Michael Jecks a cracking good read that's not only left me waiting for the next installment but stimulated my curiosity enough to fill in the gaps and read around the subject to put the series in perspective.

If this is the first book of this series that you've read I'd reccomend reading the other 26 to fill in the gaps.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Still Can't Believe It, 3 Sep 2009
By P. Schaum "prussblue" (St. Louis area, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: No Law in the Land (Knights Templar Mysteries 27) (Paperback)
Once again, I do not offer up a synopsis of the book. That is already available.
As an historical murder mystery writer, I have always considered Jecks a "cut above." But, he has truly amazed me as I expected a good read but not that he could so well exceed himself. I have the hard cover edition, but I suggest that in whatever format is available to you, read it! If you are already a fan, you should be happy for this release and be most impatient for #28.
