'Jecks keeps the suspense at a steady boil as his well-rounded
characters fight for a corner in tumultuous London' Publishers
Weekly 'I look forward to seeing what mishap next awaits the
unlikely hero of Jack Blackjack' Historical Novel Society DANGER
LIES IN WAIT IN TUDOR LONDON . . . January, 1554. Light-fingered
Jack Blackjack knows he's not going to have a good day when he
wakes with a sore head next to a dead body in a tavern's yard. That
would be bad enough - but when he discovers what's in the dead
man's purse, the one he'd stolen, his day is set to get much worse.
The purse explains why the mysterious man with the broad-brimmed
hat wants to catch him. But so does the Lord Chancellor, as does
the enigmatic Henry. In fact, almost everyone seems to be after
Jack Blackjack. If it weren't for the rebel army marching on London
determined to remove Queen Mary from her throne and install Lady
Jane Grey in her place, Jack could leave the city - but with the
bridge blocked and every gate manned, there's no escape. Instead he
must try to work out who killed the man in the yard, and why. But
it won't be easy as the rebel army comes ever closer and the death
toll mounts .
