Midnight assignations, dresses fit to meet the queen . . . and
murder most horrid! Printer's apprentice Lucy Campion investigates
a puzzling death in this thrilling historical mystery set in
seventeenth-century London. London, 1668. Printer's apprentice Lucy
Campion is suspicious when she meets a young ragpicker who claims
to have fine clothes to sell from a lady of quality. Are the
garments stolen . . . or something worse? Her suspicions are soon
realized when the clothes are identified as belonging to a recently
deceased elderly aristocrat. Young Mercy Sykes has robbed a grave!
Mercy is arrested, and it's only thanks to Lucy's intervention that
the ragpicker, who has a disabled sister who depends on her, isn't
locked up. Lucy doesn't expect to see Mercy again, but their
meeting soon has unexpected consequences. For when Mercy finds a
dead woman in the ruins of Christchurch, dressed in unexpected
finery, it's to Lucy who she turns for help . . . Lucy Campion is a
feisty working-class heroine, plying her trade as a printer's
apprentice in Renaissance London. If you're new to the series (it's
safe to jump right in), we can't wait for you to meet her in this
twisty, puzzle-packed historical mystery, brimming with
authenticity!
