'Fans will be pleased to hear that Susanna Gregory has yet again
hit on a winning formula of taking a likeable main character,
involving him in a gripping plot and setting them within a
commendably realistic setting. It is another bravura performance' -
Historical Novels Review -------------------------- The seventh
adventure in the Thomas Chaloner series. Thomas Chaloner is
relieved to be summoned back to London. His master, the Earl of
Clarendon, has sent him to Tangier to investigate a case of
corruption. Chaloner will be glad to be home, to be reunited with
his new wife, but the trivial reason for his recall exasperates him
- the theft of material from the construction site of Clarendon's
embarrassingly sumptuous new house just north of Piccadilly. Within
hours of his return, Chaloner considers these thefts even more
paltry as he is thrust into extra investigations involving threats
of assassination, a stolen corpse and a scheme to frame the Queen
for treason. Yet there are connections from them all which thread
through the unfinished Clarendon House... 'Pungent with historical
detail' (Irish Times) 'A richly imagined world of colourful
medieval society and irresistible monkish sleuthing' (Good Book
Guide) 'Corpses a-plenty, exciting action sequences and a
satisfying ending' (Mystery People)
