The Temple of the Ninth Daughter sits on
a hill at the edge of Newton-upon-Sea, an aura of mystery lingering
over its tall, gray silhouette. Villagers whisper about the treasure
housed inside, protected by local Freemasons who are bound by
clandestine oaths.
Dr. Alexandra Gladstone has no time for
such nonsense. Between the patients in her surgery and the rounds she
makes with her faithful dog, Zack, her days are busy enough. But
Alexandra has no logical explanation when the Freemasons start dying,
one by one, with no sign of foul play other than smears of blood on
their Masonic aprons. And what to make of reports that a Knight Templar
rides through the village before each passing?
After the constable disappears in the
midst of the crisis, Alexandra reaches out to her dashing, diligent
friend, Nicholas Forsythe, Lord Dunsford, for assistance. Is someone
after the treasure, or might a more sinister game be afoot? In order to
solve this puzzle, Alexandra must somehow catch a killer who shows no
remorse—and leaves no witnesses.
