Publisher Description
After an absence of a year, Catherine LeVendeur and her husband Edgar are glad to return to Paris. When they enter the house, however, they are shocked by the discovery of the dead body of a Knight Templar. Although innocent, Catherine fears that she or her family will be incriminated. Her father Hubert has recently announced his Jewish roots and twelfth-century Europe is not a safe place for Jews. She particularly fears the powerful knight, Jehan of Blois. Catherine must penetrate the secrets of the Knights Templar in order to vindicate her family.
Catherine and Edgar’s loving relationship is warmly described against the mesmerizing sights and sounds of medieval Paris in this engrossing tale of mystery.

" Set in the 1100's in France, the historical view of life of the time was perhaps more thought provoking than the crime. The ability of religion to complicate life as well as perceived social status appears to be as horrible then as it is now. "

" This was my least favorite in this series. It seemed overly long and their really wasn't much of a mystery...a dead body yes but no one really seemed to care. Hope next one is a little better. "

" Weak entry in the series. Nobody's actions make much sense, the plot depends on everybody acting dumb, and Catherine and Edgar do no investigating until the very last minute. "
