"Blake . . . belongs in the first rank of historical mystery novelists" -Publishers Weekly Starred Review
England, 1748. Civil unrest is brewing in the small hamlet of Ingolside. After tensions explode one evening and a riot sweeps through the town, a body is found on the steps of the square . . . the body of a man sent for by the Squire to implement unpopular changes in the village.
Was it an accident, or murder? Physician Dr Luke Fidelis calls in his old friend, Coroner Titus Cragg, to help uncover the truth. But with a less-than-helpful local population, and near-non-existent law enforcement, Titus quickly finds himself at the centre of a powder keg.
As violence looms once more, it's up to Cragg & Fidelis to solve the mystery . . . before a full-scale rebellion consumes the town.
A thrilling, meticulously detailed historical mystery, full to the brim with intrigue and deception. A perfect read for fans of C.J. Sansom, S.J. Parris, Anne Perry and C.S. Harris.
In addition to outstanding books on the artists Van Dyck and Stubbs, ROBIN BLAKE is the author of the Cragg & Fidelis trilogy, which includes A Dark Anatomy and Dark Waters. He has a long history of writing, producing, and presenting on radio, as well as being a widely published critic. He is based in London.
