The people and businesses of London are quickly recovering from the
ravages of the plague, none faster than the Court of Charles II
where excess, corruption and debauchery has rebounded at a frenetic
pace. In Westminster, in the haphazard corridors of White Hall
Palace, plans are afoot for a grandiose ball in honour of a
long-dead but English-born Pope. Meanwhile, the markets and coffee
houses in the city are awash with rumours of war and portents of a
coming disaster, inflamed by uncensored newssheets and the wagging
tongues of dissatisfied citizens. Mysterious killings at both ends
of the capital have been caused by the use of an unusually long,
slender blade, and Thomas Chaloner is ordered to investigate. The
only common thread is the victims' connection to the Worshipful
Company of Poulters, whose members are struggling to keep ahead of
London's enormous demand for eggs. But this leads him into a
tapestry of conspiracy, outlandish claims of the Second Coming, the
reappearance of a number of regicides and ever more brazen
killings. As the date of the great ball looms closer, Chaloner
fears that there is a dangerously credible conspiracy against the
throne, and he has very little time to prevent history from
repeating itself . . .
