Crediton Killings

The Knights Templar They were warrior monks, dedicated to the protection of pilgrims in the Holy Landuntil 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 Creditoncoupled with the unwanted appearance of a particularly unsavory band of mercenary soldiershas 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 begunand each murder to follow threatens to be more heinous and baffling than the one before.Jecks, Michael is the author of 'Crediton Killings ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780060846541 and ISBN 0060846542.
