My new historical mystery/detective novel, The Medieval Adventures of Thomas Aquinas, has the 13th century theologian/philosopher solving crimes and mysteries.
Newly arrived in Paris in 1245, young Thomas begins his studies at the University of Paris under Master Albert the Swabian. Thomas soon makes friends with a fellow student, Henri who invites Thomas to his family's home for a visit. There Thomas learns the tale of Henri's sister, Margaret and of her betrothed, Sir Robert le Fleury who has recently returned from a Crusade in the Holy Land.
It seems that Sir Robert's mother has not allowed Margaret to see her betrothed since his return to France. Madame le Fleury gives Margaret a letter, supposedly from Sir Robert informing Margaret that he will not marry her.
Thomas and Henri investigate the strange case of the reclusive Crusader, only to discover more bizarre and inexplicable circumstances surrounding it.
Stephen Gaspar's books can be found on Amazon
