AN EYE FOR DANGER

Thomas Finbow is sent to London by Lady Margaret on a sensitive mission: to seek out her husband Sir Robert – Thomas’s master – and persuade him to give up his foolish infatuation with Lady Imogen, a notorious woman of the Court.

But once in the city, Thomas is thrown into a far graver situation when the body of a young woman, horribly mutilated, is washed up beside the Thames. Soon, Thomas is caught up in a bizarre series of events including the theft of a corpse – and even his own imprisonment.

With the help of an old friend, the streetwise jingler Ben Mallam, Thomas must risk everything to foil a deadly scheme that threatens the very succession to the English throne – leading to the biggest gamble of his life.

Perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom, Andrew Taylor and S. J. Parris.
