The Sticklepath Strangler

by Michael Jecks Book 12 in the Last Templar Mysteries series.

First published 2001

4.3(409)

Summer 1322. Children find the remains of a girl who disappeared years earlier near Sticklepath. Further concealed deaths suggest that the village has protected a serial killer, while stories of a vampire allow residents to place responsibility on supernatural forces rather than on someone they know.

Baldwin and Simon compare old disappearances with current testimony and discover how fear has been managed within the community. The investigation challenges folklore without dismissing its social power, showing that a legend can warn of danger while also shielding the person who created it.
