AN EYE FOR DANGER
Thomas Finbow is sent to London by Lady Margaret on a sensitive mission - to seek out and persuade her husband - his master - Sir Robert to give up his foolish infatuation with Lady Imogen - a notorious woman of the Court.
But once there, Thomas is thrown into a much graver situation - the body of a young woman is found washed up beside the Thames, terribly mutilated, and soon Thomas becomes 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 risk’s everything to foil a deadly scheme that threatens the succession to the throne… leading to the biggest gamble of Thomas’s life.
Perfect for fans of C J Sansom, Andrew Taylor and S J Parris.
