Michael Jecks

    Michael Jecks is een internationaal geprezen auteur van historische fictie, bekend om zijn diepgaande verkenningen van turbulente vroegere tijdperken. Zijn verhalen verkennen vaak thema's als verraad, burgeroorlog en corruptie, maar benadrukken ook de menselijke veerkracht tegenover wijdverbreide wanhoop. Jecks brengt de geschiedenis meesterlijk tot leven, met name in zijn uitgebreide Templar-serie, die werkelijke gebeurtenissen en moorden uit de vroege veertiende eeuw opnieuw bezoekt. Zijn stilistische bekwaamheid ligt in zijn levendige weergave van historische locaties en de psychologische diepgang van zijn personages.

But when rumors begin spreading that patients from a local leper hospital might have been involved in Godfrey's murder, a series of vicious attacks on the unfortunate victims ensues, culminating in a disastrous fire at the hospital. In a surprising turn of events, Godfrey's daughter Cecily donates a sum to make good the damage.
