'well plotted story, beautifully written, a true piece of literature'
Richard Savin, author of The Girl in the Baker's Van. The sins of the past haunt the present... The passionate Countess Maria and her beloved priest Bernard found a secret sect. A century later, it threatens the French state. In the last two decades of the 19th century, the aristocrat, Marie de Troyes, and the priest, Bernard Sorre, become embroiled in a torrid but ambiguous love affair. The result is the formulation of a secret sect called the Fellowship of the Renaissance. Against the background of the struggle for power between the French State and the Roman Catholic Church, a bitter battle ensues between Bernard's Fellowship and a rival sect known as the Protectors of the Temple of Jerusalem. A conflict that leaves a trail of death in its wake.

A conflict that leaves a trail of death in its wake.
In 2018, the body of a murdered young woman is discovered. She bears a tattoo in the form of a strange P -the secret symbol of the Protectors. The investigation by detectives Valerie and Laure takes them on a dangerous trail of secrecy and deception, threatening the security of the French state. The sins of the past still flourish in the present. Can they ever be overcome? A tale of violence, murder, intrigue and treachery with startling repercussions.
'the build-up of tension was great'- Stephen Cracknell With a plot as intricate as a John Le Carré novel, this tale of violence, murder, intrigue and treachery will appeal to those who like mysterious thrillers like the Da Vinci Code. Then she lifted the dagger, turned to Hugo's back, grabbed his hair to lift up his head, and placed the blade against this throat. Do you swear to defend and protect the Fellowship from all threat and danger, even should it cost you your life?
I swear, Hugo croaked.
