Description
The King's Return by Andrew Swanston In the aftermath of years of civil war and Oliver Cromwell's rule as Lord Protector, England looks to a brighter future with the coronation of King Charles II. However, the mood in London is short-lived, as two respectable gentlemen are found murdered, their throats cut in a brutal manner. The post office, re-established under the new monarch, becomes a hub for espionage and deceit. As tensions rise and the body count increases, Thomas Hill is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse. Recruited by the king's security advisor to decipher coded letters intercepted by the post office, Thomas finds himself at the centre of a treacherous hunt for traitors and a murderer. With his loved ones increasingly under threat, Thomas must navigate a complex web of lies and deceit to uncover the truth before it's too late. A gripping tale of murder, intrigue and betrayal set against the tumultuous backdrop of 17th century London, The King's Return is a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
