The Mad Monk of Gidleigh

by Michael Jecks Book 14 in the Last Templar Mysteries series.

First published 2002

4.2(394)

At an isolated Dartmoor chapel, the young priest Mark begins a relationship with Mary, the miller’s daughter. After she is found stabbed and pregnant, his anger and secrecy make him the obvious suspect, but her other admirers and the local lord also have reasons to fear what she knew.

Baldwin and Simon enter a community where sexual relationships, status and paternal authority have been concealed behind moral judgement. Their attempt to identify Mary’s killer triggers further violence and demonstrates how an accusation can become fatal before the evidence is understood.
