Synopsis
From the No.1 bestselling author of The Ashes of London and The Fire Court comes the next audiobook in the phenomenally successful series following James Marwood. London 1667. In the Court of Charles II, it's a dangerous time to be alive – a wrong move could lead to disgrace, exile or death. The discovery of a murder at Clarendon House, the palatial home of one of the highest courtiers in the land, could have catastrophic consequences. James Marwood, a traitor's son, is ordered to cover up the murder. But the dead man is Edward Alderley, the cousin of one of Marwood's acquaintances. Cat Lovett has vanished since his murder and all the evidence points to her as the killer. Marwood is determined to clear Cat's name and discover who really killed Alderley. But time is running out for everyone. If he makes a mistake, it could threaten not only the government but the King himself… Praise for the Author: “Taylor has long been the pre-eminent chronicler of beautifully atmospheric historical crime.” THE TIMES.
