Synopsis
The body of a woman has been found close to Bruno's patch in St Denis, south west France. She was discovered, with her neck broken, beside the ruined Templar chateau of Commarque in the heart of the Dordogne. An accidental fall - or was she pushed?
The victim carries no identification and her
fingerprints are not known to the French police or Interpol. Bruno's local inquiries yield no trace of a missing woman.
The 11th century chateau of Commarque was entrusted to the Knights Templar. It has never been associated with the fabled hidden treasure of the Templars, but a sensational story in the local press about the unknown woman's death throws light on the chateau and the cave beneath it.
Bruno's friend Horst, an archaeologist, has long been convinced that there's something mysterious about this cave. When a Templar scholar is found brutally tortured and left for dead, Bruno must race to find the perpetrator before they strike again, while St Denis holds its breath, waiting to see if a centuries-old mystery might finally be solved.
