The gripping ninth instalment in the acclaimed Cragg & Fidelis historical mystery series from master storyteller Robin Blake.
‘Blake . . . belongs in the first rank of historical mystery novelists’ – Publishers Weekly Starred Review
England, 1748. Civil unrest is brewing in the small hamlet of Ingolside. After tensions explode one evening and a riot sweeps through the town, a body is found on the steps of the square . . . the body of a man sent for by the Squire to implement unpopular changes in the village.
Was it an accident, or murder? Physician Dr Luke Fidelis calls in his old friend, Coroner Titus Cragg, to help uncover the truth. But with a less-than-helpful local population, and near-non-existent law enforcement, Titus quickly finds himself at the centre of a powder keg.
As violence looms once more, it’s up to Cragg & Fidelis to solve the mystery…before a full-scale rebellion consumes the town.
A thrilling, meticulously detailed historical mystery, full to the brim with intrigue and deception. A perfect read for fans of C.J. Sansom, S.J. Parris, Anne Perry and C.S. Harris.
