The Butcher of St Peter’s

by Michael Jecks Book 19 in the Last Templar Mysteries series.

First published 2005

4.2(445)

Exeter is alarmed by a man who enters houses at night and is feared for his interest in children. When a father is killed while apparently defending his family, public pressure demands an immediate arrest and execution of the suspected intruder.

Baldwin and Simon question whether the city’s most obvious outcast committed the murder or has been selected to carry the community’s fears. The enquiry moves through households, parish relationships and earlier offences, separating genuine danger from rumour before another killing fixes the wrong story as fact.
