โฆ Synopsis
From No.1 bestselling author Andrew Taylor comes the sequel to the phenomenally successful The Ashes of London. A gripping historical thriller set in the aftermath of The Great Fire of London. A city striving to recover. A killer waiting to strike. London, May 1667. Six months after The Great Fire, London is still in blackened ruins. With tensions running to boiling point, the government has created the Fire Court to settle legal disputes over the re-building of the city. James Marwood is happy keeping his distance from the machinations of the Fire Court, and settling into a quiet life as a clerk. But one day, his elderly father claims to have stumbled upon a dead woman. His story is so strange that Marwood dismisses it. The next day, though, his father is run over and killed. Soon, Marwood becomes convinced his father's death is linked to the Fire Court. And when a clerk at the Court is burned alive in his chamber, the hunt is on to stop a killer, before he strikes again...
