Fifteen-year-old Tom lives in the murky, sooty city of London,
where he helps his father to run a print shop. Among the customers
is wise old Dr Harker, a retired physician and seafarer, whose
patient demeanour and fascinating tales endear him to Tom. When Tom
and Harker hear a newspaper seller announce a most curious murder
in the city, with the victim pierced by an arrow and left holding
an illustrated card of 'Death and the Arrow', they are both
intrigued by the mystery. As subsequent 'Death and the Arrow'
victims are discovered, the mystery closes ever more tightly round
the city and intrudes even into Tom's own life. From then onwards,
he can't rest till he has discovered the truth behind the
murders... A really atmospheric venture into the
eighteenth-century, combined with a gripping mystery plot, will
fascinate and engage readers of ten and upwards.
