( ) A twist on the previous novels in the series. The action takes place almost entirely outside of Lincoln and some of the supporting characters we know from previous stories are therefore missing. The main character, of course, is the Templar knight Bascot de Marins and he once again solves the mystery. The book lays down an intriguing red herring in the death of King john's nephew Arthur (still open to speculation) and uses it as a plot device to introduce King John more fully, as well as some new supporting characters that I suspect we will see again. The mystery side is well done - enough clues to keep you guessing but in doubt until close to the end - and the book has the usual historical elements (although these the historical details are somewhat fewer than in some of the previous stories, as this one uses broader aspects of the history of that time). A good mystery and a good look into the politics and atmosphere of 13th century England. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

When a royal servant is murdered, Templar Bascot de Marins is once again called upon to serve justice--and protect a royal secret. NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED As King Phillip of France leads a devastating attack on Normandy, defection spreads among once-loyal English vassals. King John is even forced to imprison his own nephew Arthur for treacherous acts. And when Arthur suddenly disappears, John must keep his mysterious absence a closely guarded secret, or face even greater dissent among the nobles. Fleeing Normandy, King John and Queen Isabella hope to find safe haven at their royal residence in Canterbury. But they soon discover that no haven is truly safe. When one of John's servants is murdered, it seems that he and Isabella were the intended targets. John suspects the murderer was a Breton bent on avenging Arthur. Asking Templar Bascot de Marins to investigate the crime, he also asks him to protect the secret of Arthur's disappearance. But as Bascot and his protégé Gianni follow the murderer's trail, they find themselves caught between the King's machinations and the constraints of justice.
