Used book – Monestarium, Andrea H. Japp

1288. Al Iskandariyah, Egypt. A merchant retrieves a heavy satchel from a dying traveler, unaware that he has just sealed his own fate. He is murdered as he attempts to sell the bag to Count Aimery de Mortagne's intermediary.

1307, Clairets Abbey, France. A nun, Angelique, is found strangled. Likely because she bore a striking resemblance to one of her sisters, Marie-Gillette d'Andremont, who fled Spain after her lover's assassination. Other murders follow.

Could the murderer be the same as the one who killed Marie-Gillette's lover? And what exactly is the role of the Count de Mortagne, who conveniently arrives at the abbey?

Structured like a closed-door mystery, Monestarium is a thrilling historical suspense novel.
