My mother, a serial killer / by Baron, Hazel,author.; Fife-Yeomans, Janet,author.;
"Dulcie Bodsworth was the unlikeliest serial killer. She was loved everywhere she went, and the townsfolk of Wilcannia, Australia which she called home in the late 1950s, thought of her as kind and caring. The officers at the local police station found Dulcie witty and charming, and they looked forward to the scones and cakes she generously baked and delivered for their morning tea. That was only one side of her. Only her daughter Hazel saw the real Dulcie. And what she saw terrified her. Dulcie was in fact a cold, calculating killer who, by 1958, had put three men in their graves-- one of them the father of her four children, Ted Baron-- in one of the most infamous periods of Australian criminal history. She would have got away with it all had it not been for Hazel. Written by award-winning journalist Janet Fife-Yeomans together with Hazel Baron, My Mother, A Serial Killer is a chilling story of a murderous mother and the courageous daughter who testified against her and put her in jail."-- Page [4] of cover.

It is time to fulfil his vow to the Templars and become a monk of their order for eternity. As he waits for the shrouds' return, he looks back upon his long-ago pilgrimage with his brother Ancel, and the sacred mission entrusted to them to bear the cloak of their dead young lord to Jerusalem and lay it on Christ's tomb in the church of the Holy Sepulchre. Jerusalem, 1183. In the holiest of all cities, the brothers become embroiled in the deadly politics, devious scheming and lusts of the powerful men and women who rule the kingdom.
