Michael Jecks writes historical crime, best known for the Knights Templar Mysteries set in fourteenth-century England. Beginning with The Last Templar, the series follows former Templar Sir Baldwin de Furnshill and bailiff Simon Puttock as they investigate murders across Devon and beyond during the reign of Edward II. The books use medieval law, local rivalries, church politics and the aftermath of the Templars' destruction as working parts of the cases. Jecks also writes later historical series in different periods. His mysteries are plot-led and detailed without becoming academic, making Bernard Knight and Susanna Gregory useful comparisons for readers of medieval crime. Read more Less
