Description
The Scent of Death by Andrew Taylor Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the American War of Independence, this gripping historical thriller follows Edward Savill, a London clerk tasked with assessing the claims of loyalists who have lost out during the war. Savill lodges with the ageing Judge Wintour and his family, but soon discovers that what they have lost in wealth, they have gained in secrets. A murder in the city's slums sets Savill on a path that exposes the darker side of human nature. As the stakes rise, Savill must navigate the complex web of loyalties and rivalries that define this volatile era. With the nation's future hanging in the balance, the true cost of survival becomes all too clear. In this gripping tale of suspense and intrigue, Taylor masterfully weaves together the threads of history and fiction to create a compelling narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
