Walking a Goldleafed Path
Alan Cannell
- A
- European
- ruler
- destroys
- democracy,
- replaces
- a
- debased
- currency
- with
- new
- coin,
- forces
- Jews
- to
- wear
- a
- yellow
- badge,
- strikes
- a
- deal
- with
- an
- Asian
- power,
- and
- then
- invades
- France.
- History
- does
- repeat
- itself:
- this
- was
- King
- Edward
- I
- of
- England.
- In
- 1265
- a
- single
- battle
- at
- Evesham
- decided
- the
- fate
- of
- western
- civilization.
- The
- forces
- of
- democracy
- lost
- and
- Britain
- was
- plunged
- into
- a
- reign
- of
- terror.
- Sir
- Roger
- D'Audley
- was
- on
- the
- losing
- side
- but
- managed
- to
- escape
- the
- slaughter
- and
- return
- to
- Outremer
- -
- the
- Frankish
- Kingdoms
- of
- the
- Holy
- Land
- -
- where
- Persian
- esotericism
- was
- at
- its
- peak
- and
- sowing
- the
- seeds
- of
- the
- future
- Enlightenment.
- Back
- in
- 2008,
- as
- the
- world
- slips
- into
- recession,
- Mary
- Wodehouse,
- a
- young
- Scottish
- dentist,
- finds
- her
- life
- entangled
- with
- a
- bum
- who
- falls
- out
- of
- a
- Church
- wall
- and
- thinks
- he
- is
- the
- Templar
- Knight
- Sir
- Roger
- D’
- Audley.
- And
- now
- Roger
- believes
- that
- he
- is
- destined
- to
- confront
- a
- Yardie
- Gangster,
- ‘King
- of
- the
- Ring’
- Edwards,
- a
- crook
- bent
- on
- causing
- further
- chaos
- in
- the
- London
- stock market.
