The Crediton killings : a Knights Templar mystery

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.

  • "Crediton is expecting the arrival of the Bishop of Exeter, Walter Stapledon. A band of mercenaries has arrived in the town under their leader, Sir Hector de Gorsone. Rumors abound that they terrorize travelers, have no respect even for the cloth, and that Sir Hector has seduced a local maid. When Simon and Baldwin attend the Bishop's welcome dinner, they are surprised to learn that the mercenaries have complained of theft, and then discover the body of a young woman hidden in a chest: the first of the Crediton killings."@en

Then a young girl is discovered murdered and hidden in a chest - the first of the Crediton killings. Can the killer's identity be discovered?"@en
