Description
London's sweltering heatwave in 1664 is matched only by the tensions simmering in the corridors of power as war with the Dutch looms. In this, the sixth adventure for Thomas Chaloner, historical detail and intrigue come together in a gripping tale. A delegation from the Netherlands has gathered at the Savoy hospital, where Thomas Chaloner knows many of the delegates, including the sister of his late wife. But when the body of his former brother-in-law is discovered in the Thames, Chaloner sets out to unravel the enigmatic clues left behind. Was his murder linked to a plot to steal the crown jewels, or was he a victim of those determined to sabotage the peace talks? With its richly imagined world and suspenseful monkish sleuthing, this novel is a compelling read for fans of historical mystery.
