About this listen

The seventh adventure in the Thomas Chaloner series.

Thomas Chaloner is relieved to be summoned back to London. His master, the Earl of Clarendon, has sent him to Tangier to investigate a case of corruption. Chaloner will be glad to be home, to be reunited with his new wife, but the trivial reason for his recall exasperates him - the theft of material from the construction site of Clarendon's embarrassingly sumptuous new house just north of Piccadilly.

Within hours of his return, Chaloner considers these thefts even more paltry as he is thrust into extra investigations involving threats of assassination, a stolen corpse and a scheme to frame the queen for treason. Yet there are connections from them all which thread through the unfinished Clarendon House....

Critic reviews

"Fans will be pleased to hear that Susanna Gregory has yet again hit on a winning formula of taking a likeable main character, involving him in a gripping plot and setting them within a commendably realistic setting. It is another bravura performance." (Historical Novels Review)

"Pungent with historical detail." (Irish Times)

"A richly imagined world of colourful medieval society and irresistible monkish sleuthing." (Good Book Guide)
