Book
The Templar, the Queen and Her Lover
First published 2007
In 1325 Isabella of France travels to Paris to negotiate with her brother Charles IV over English lands. Baldwin accompanies her, but a servant is murdered shortly after arrival and Baldwin’s dagger is left beside the body, making the investigator himself the evidence in an international crime.
Further deaths connect the queen’s household with English exiles and French courtiers gathering around her. Baldwin and Simon must clear his name while Isabella’s estrangement from Edward II and her growing alliance with Roger Mortimer transform a diplomatic mission into the beginning of open resistance.
