About this listen

London, May 1665. On a dark road outside London, a simple robbery goes horribly wrong when the gentlemanly highwayman, William Coke, discovers that his intended victims have been brutally slaughtered. Suspected of the murders, Coke is forced into an uneasy alliance with the man who pursues him--the relentless thief-taker, Pitman.

Together they seek the killer and uncover a conspiracy that reaches from the glittering, debauched court of King Charles to the worst slum in the city, St .Giles in the Fields. But there's another murderer moving through the slums, the taverns, and the palaces, slipping under the doorways of the rich. A mass murderer. Plague.

Even paced and likeable characters. It's a dark story with plenty of light moments. I enjoyed every word from start to finish. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys crime thrillers/historic fiction. It's generally suitable for most adults regarding strong language, sex and violence with exceptions for some pretty gruesome moments. The author's narration is superb.

Rip roaring story and great narration.

This book really takes you back to the times of King Charles ll with all the fear not only of upsetting your betters, but the spread of deadly diseases. The Plague spells death and its not a pleasant way to go. In a time when stealing a loaf of bread could bring you to the end of a rope the plague was even more frightening. Recent construction in London has unearthed some of the Plague mass graves. In this book the author captures the fear amid a well crafted murder mystery and together with occasional humour. Well done, really enjoyed it and I hope there is a sequel.

Great Read
