In this second installment, Magdalena (the hangman's daughter) again plays a rather non-conformist role in the action for the 17th century.  She is well read and knowledgeable and even travels alone to Augsburg.  But the main part of the story centers around a Templar grave and a set of  clues that lead Simon and a female visitor to the community on a rather bumpy ride to discovery. Interesting mystery, lots of action.
