Summary

Temple of the Grail is a critically acclaimed best seller translated into four languages.

Heresy, Hypocrisy, Murder....

France, 1254.

Situated high in the Pyrenees the monastery of St. Lazarus is a forbidding place. Behind its ramparts and battlements it hides a secret so dangerous its keepers will kill to protect it.

At the end of a bitter winter, a delegation headed by the ambitious Inquisitor Rainiero Sacconi arrives to investigate the monks of St. Lazarus.

A Templar knight and his young scribe are sent by the king of France to oversee the investigation. When monks begin to die in gruesome ways they must unravel the secret at the heart of St. Lazarus, but with the Antichrist at their heels and the inquisitor watching their every step, they find themselves drawn into a fight, not only for their lives, but also for their souls.

Temple of the Grail is a tour de force for history buffs and fans of the medieval detective genre.

Pretty intriguing

Let’s be honest. Any book of this kind is going to suffer badly with comparisons to Eco’s The Name of the Rose. Once I got over that, I rather enjoyed this. The main character is likeable and the plot just this side of utterly bonkers and who doesn’t love a scene where clerics slag off each other’s orders!

Too much!

Ok if you hold a degree in Latin or are familiar with the workings of Catholicism. Not to my taste I’m afraid.
