Overview

Midsummer in medieval London should be a time of revelry, but for many, there is nothing to celebrate. Death stalks the sweltering streets as plague raises its hideous head, livelihoods crumble, and trust wilts in the heat. Fire, theft, and murder loom over the city, and once again, artist and reluctant sleuth Sebastian Foxley finds danger perilously close to home. When a beautiful young woman enchants the men of London, suspicion soon follows. The discovery of waxen dolls spiked with pins sends the city into a frenzy, convinced that witchcraft is to blame. With dark secrets lurking too near for comfort, Sebastian must unravel a tangled web of deceit and suspicion. Can he uncover the truth and protect those he loves before it's too late? Join Sebastian Foxley for another richly woven medieval mystery where peril lurks behind every shadow and the colour of darkness hides deadly truths.
