He has been severely injured during his imprisonment and the things he has seen and the fate of his family have sorely tested his faith. These titles are about Templar Bascot de Marins who, after eight years of captivity in the Holy Land, has arrived back in England to find that his entire family has perished in the time that he was being held prisoner. I took it home, started to read it, discovered it was the second in a series and put a request in for the first– The Alehouse Murders–so that I could read it immediately that I finished the one I had. I picked it up, looked through and found it was set in England in 1200 AD and that the setting, characters and contents are based on authentic characters and facts. The illustrations looked like they were taken from a medieval manuscript and put directly on the cover. The label said it was “A Templar Knight Mystery” next to a picture of said Templar sitting, writing, obviously in deep thought. As I was ambling through the new paperback section a time ago I came across a book with a beautiful cover called Death of a Squire by Maureen Ash.
