City of Fiends (Knights Templar)

City of Fiends by Michael Jecks is a richly atmospheric historical mystery set in 14th-century England during a time of political upheaval. It is 1327, and with King Edward II deposed and his young son placed on the throne, the country teeters between chaos and fragile hope for peace.

Sir Baldwin de Furnshill, Keeper of the King’s Peace, and his companion Simon Puttock arrive in Exeter carrying grim news of the escaped former king. They are soon drawn into a far darker crime when the body of a young maid is found brutally murdered within the city walls. With the gates sealed, the killer must still be hiding among Exeter’s citizens. As Baldwin investigates, he uncovers a web of secrets in a city where no one is quite what they seem. Dark, tense, and meticulously researched, City of Fiends brings medieval England vividly to life.
