No Law in the Land

by Michael Jecks Book 27 in the Last Templar Mysteries series.

First published 2009

4.3(667)

Returning to Devon, Baldwin and Simon learn that Edward II has withdrawn his favour after hearing their report about Isabella’s defiance. Royal weakness has encouraged local knights and outlaws, and a lord near Crediton now uses armed force with little fear of punishment.

The murder of two clerics brings the investigators into conflict with men who treat law as an instrument of private power. The case shows the effects of national collapse at village level, where royal commands have lost credibility but communities still need someone capable of challenging violence.
