The Devil's Novice by Ellis Peters

Who was Joseph Cerneau? What was the Cerneau Supreme Council? Was Joseph Cerneau a regular or irregular Mason? Why did Cerneau Masonry cause such problems in the United States? These are a handful of the many questions asked by Masons concerning Joseph Cerneau, a figure at the center of a long-debated Masonic controversy. In 1886, Albert Pike, through the Supreme Council, SJUSA published this translation of a bulletin from the Supreme Council for France concerning Joseph Cerneau. It is a clear rebuff of Cerneau. The foreword, written by Michael R. Poll, tells another side of the story. Together, this is a fascinating account of Scottish Rite Masonry in its early, formative years. Photographic reproduction of the 1886 publication with a contemporary foreword by Michael R. Poll.

Ellis Peters is a pen name for Edith Mary Pargeter (1913-1995), a British author recognized with popularizing the historical mystery with her book Chronicles of Brother Cadfael. Cadfael, a Welsh Benedictine monk who lived at Shrewsbury Abbey in the first half of the twelfth century, has been described as having a fascinating mind and the daring of a knight-errant. The character has been adapted for television, and the books have brought Shrewsbury and its history to the attention of the world. For Death and the Cheerful Woman, Pargeter earned an Edgar Award in 1963, and the Cartier Diamond Dagger, an annual prize granted by the Crime Writers' Association of Great Britain, in 1993. In 1994, she was made an officer of the Order of the British Empire, and the British Crime Writers' Association created the Ellis Peters Historical Dagger award, which was eventually renamed the Ellis Peters Historical Award, in 1999.
