The Chapel of Bones

by Michael Jecks Book 18 in the Last Templar Mysteries series.

First published 2004

4.2(490)

Exeter, 1323. New deaths in the cathedral close revive the memory of Walter de Lecchelade, a churchman murdered there forty years earlier during a violent dispute. The chapel built in response to that crime has preserved evidence, grudges and institutional shame.

Baldwin and Simon investigate whether the current killings are revenge, concealment or a struggle over the meaning of the earlier murder. The novel connects cathedral politics, architecture and collective memory, showing how a building intended as penance can become a focus for renewed violence.
