β¦ Synopsis
The Jingler's Luck
Thomas the Falconer unravels a plot that strikes at the very heart of Tudor England. In the depths of winter the body of a young woman, cruelly mutilated, is found washed up beside the Thames.
Meanwhile Thomas arrives in London on a sensitive mission: to persuade his master Sir Robert to give up his foolish infatuation with a notorious woman of the Court. But the Lady Imogenβs intrigues are more serious than even Thomas realizes, until heβs caught up in a bizarre series of events including the theft of a corpse, and even his own imprisonment.
Thomasβs old friend, the streetwise jingler (horse-dealer) Ben Mallam, returns to aid him after a run of bad luck. Together they risk everything to foil a deadly scheme that threatens the succession to the throne β leading to the biggest gamble of Thomasβs life.
