If you're looking for dramatic historical adventure, don't miss British author Michael Jecks's powerful The Last Templar. This opener to the Templar Mystery series, a potent mix of history and mystery, begins with the destruction of the Templar order -- a devastating political and religious betrayal that reaches far beyond the falsely accused Templars themselves. Templar knight Sir Baldwin Furnshill barely escapes, vowing vengeance for his wronged brothers-in-arms. Returning home to Devon, he accepts new responsibilities as a local landowner, working with the newly minted bailiff of Lydford Castle, Simon Puttock, to investigate crimes in their district -- cases of arson, murder, extortion, and revenge. Sue Stone
They had all joined
taking three vows: poverty, chastity, and obedience...for they were monks: warrior monks, dedicated to the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Land -- until stories spread by anavaricious king who wanted their wealth for his own destroyed the
order.
There was one knight, however, who escaped the stake, vowing justiceas he watched his innocent brothers die.
In
the Service of the Lord
Simon Puttock has not been bailiff of Lydford Castle long in this year of 1316, when he is called to a nearby village to examine a burned-out cottage and the dead body within. But it is the newly arrived knight, Sir Baldwin Furnshill, who discerns the deceased was no victim of a tragic mishap; he was, in fact, murdered prior to the blaze. Simon would be well-served by accepting further assistance from this astute, though haunted and secretive stranger. For a second fatal burning indicates that some harsh evil has invaded this once-peaceful place, and its hunger has yet to be sated.
