A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Knights Templar

They were warrior monks, dedicated to the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Land—until an avaricious king who wanted their wealth savagely destroyed the order. One knight, however, escaped the stake, vowing justice for his innocent murdered brothers.

An Ill Wind

The arrival of the eminent Bishop of Exeter to the small Devonshire town of Crediton—coupled with the unwanted appearance of a particularly unsavory band of mercenary soldiers—has made life exceedingly difficult for Simon Puttock, bailiff of Lydford, and ex-Knight Templar Baldwin Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace. But it is the grim discovery of the body of a young girl hidden in a chest that unleashes a village-wide plague of fear and suspicion. Stemming the chaos may be beyond the powers of two dedicated upholders of the law. For the Crediton killings have only just begun—and each murder to follow threatens to be more heinous and baffling than the one before.

Quatrième de couverture :

Crediton killings
Peter Clifford, priest of the bustling town of Crediton, is an anxious man. Already nervous about the impending visit of the Bishop of Exeter, he is disturbed to learn that a company of violent mercenaries has taken up residence at the inn.
Simon Puttock, Bailiff of Lydford, and Baldwin Furnshill, Keeper of the King's Peace, are reluctantly in attendance to help welcome the bishop. They are more than happy when a diversion comes in the way of a robbery amongst the mercenaries.
But then a young girl is discovered murdered, hidden in a chest - and this is only the first of the Crediton killings.
As murder follows brutal murder, Simon and Baldwin must discover the killer's identity before he strikes again - and before their own lives are put at risk...
