The Leper’s Return

by Michael Jecks Book 6 in the Last Templar Mysteries series.

First published 1998

2.5(5)

Crediton, 1320. A goldsmith is murdered in his hall, and rumour rapidly blames the inhabitants of a nearby leper hospital. Ralph of Houndselow, the hospital’s new master, struggles to protect his community as fear and anger make collective violence increasingly likely.

Baldwin and Simon seek the killer before accusation turns into massacre. Their enquiry follows money, family relationships and political unrest, while the treatment of the hospital exposes how easily disease and religious ideas of impurity can be used to deny marginalised people legal protection.
