The Last Templar

by Michael Jecks Book 1 in the Last Templar Mysteries series.

First published 1995

3.9(4,678)

Devon, 1316. Bailiff Simon Puttock examines a body found in a burned cottage and expects an accident, but Sir Baldwin de Furnshill recognises evidence that the victim was killed before the fire. A second death, in which an abbot is burned alive, confirms that someone is using fire to conceal a connected series of crimes.

Baldwin’s skill is rooted in a history he keeps hidden: he survived the destruction of the Knights Templar after Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V moved against the order. The investigation introduces a partnership shaped by local law, famine-era hardship and Baldwin’s determination to obtain justice without revealing why the Templars’ fate still governs his life.
