To Wear the White Cloak - first US edition
by Sharan Newman - signed
In a simple prologue, three men, a lord, a miller and a servant set out on
Easter from their small French village to join the Knights of the Temple and
King Louis's expedition to rid the Holy Land of the Saracens. Meanwhile,
Catherine and her extended family arrive in Paris, expecting to find their house
aired and ready for them. Instead there's moldy and rancid food in the kitchen
and the decaying body of a murdered man, wearing the white cloak of the Knights
of the Temple, in the counting room. Fearful that certain family secrets are at
risk of exposure, Catherine, her husband, Edgar, and her cousin, Solomon,
determine to discover the man's identity and his murderer. Thus begins a story
that will bring the three pilgrims and Catherine's clan together and change
their lives forever.
