Description
A Thief's Justice is a gripping historical mystery set in 1716 London, where the city is gripped by a savage winter. When a judge is found dead at the base of St Paul's cathedral, a young male sex-worker is taken into custody for the murder. A courtesan, Belle St Clair, asks a thief, Jonas Flynt, to investigate, as the young man claims he had received a message to meet the judge at the exact time of death. As the investigation unfolds, time is running out, and the gallows beckon. Jonas Flynt must navigate the treacherous world of 18th-century London to uncover the truth and save an innocent life. With the help of Belle St Clair and the young man, Sam Yates, he must do everything in his power to clear Sam's name and bring the real killer to justice. A totally engrossing portrayal of eighteenth-century London, A Thief's Justice is a rapier-like crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
