'Witty and amazing, L. C. Tyler has a wicked sense of humour' M. C.
Beaton 1665, and the Great Plague has London in its grip. Where
better, then, to hide a murdered man than among the corpses on
their way to the Plague pit? When a supposed Plague victim is found
with a knife in his back, John Grey, now a successful lawyer, is
called in to investigate. The dead man was known to be carrying a
compromising letter from the Duke of York to the French ambassador.
Now the letter has vanished and Secretary of State Lord Arlington
wants it. But Arlington is not the only one trying to recover the
letter. Somebody has killed once trying to obtain it - and is
prepared to kill again. Grey must set off on a journey through
Plague-ravaged England to fulfil his commission and keep himself
safe from his enemies - if the Plague doesn't get him first...
Praise for L.C. Tyler 'Tyler juggles his characters, story wit and
clever one liners with perfect balance' The Times 'A historical
thriller, but one written with tongue firmly in cheek . . . Tyler
is a witty writer, and this third outing for Grey is great fun' -
Sunday Times 'An exciting, well-plotted and brilliantly witty
historical mystery' For Winter Nights
