After the deaths at Gidleigh, Baldwin and Simon travel as pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela. A young woman is raped and murdered outside the city, and local officials ask the experienced English investigators to help distinguish a traveller’s crime from violence rooted in the surrounding community.

The reappearance of someone connected to Baldwin’s Templar past makes the enquiry personally dangerous. Far from Devon, the two men must work within unfamiliar law and language while pilgrimage, penitence and the memory of the suppressed order place Baldwin’s private guilt beside the public search for justice.
