The first John Grey historical mystery The theatres are padlocked.
Christmas has been cancelled. It is 1657 and the unloved English
Republic is eight years old. Though Cromwell's joyless grip on
power appears immovable, many still look to Charles Stuart's
dissolute and threadbare court-in-exile, and some are prepared to
risk their lives plotting a restoration. For the officers of the
Republic, constant vigilance is needed. So, when the bloody corpse
of a Royalist spy is discovered on the dung heap of a small Essex
village, why is the local magistrate so reluctant to investigate?
John Grey, a young lawyer with no clients, finds himself alone in
believing that the murdered man deserves justice. Grey is drawn
into a vortex of plot and counter-plot and into the
all-encompassing web of intrigue spun by Cromwell's own spy-master,
John Thurloe. So when nothing is what is seems, can Grey trust
anyone? 'Tyler juggles his characters, story wit and clever one
liners with perfect balance' - The Times 'A cracking pace, lively
dialogue, wickedly witty one-liners salted with sophistication . .
. Why would we not want more of John Grey?' - The Bookbag
