Description
Be very careful how you tread the boards...London's snow has melted since the glorious Thames Frost Fair, yet the chill remains - now haunting the dusky passageways of the Theatre Royal.Rumours of financial ruin and rebellion send Samuel Pepys's inquisitors, Abby Harcourt and Jacob Standish, into the colourful, crazed realm of Restoration theatre. What they uncover is no mere scandal - it's murder.Banished from the playhouse, Jacob can only watch on while Abby goes undercover as the King's Company's new principal actress. Can she sift truth from trickery in a world built on illusion, where lies trip from tongues like coins from a split purse?When a black-hearted adversary reappears, she must race to save not only the theatre's reputation, but her own mortal soul.A thrill-ride tale of ambition, betrayal, and blood. Should Abigail fail, the final curtain will fall on them all.
The Samuel Pepys Mysteries bring 17th century England vividly to life, in the company of the celebrated diarist himself, and his personal inquisitors, Abby and Jacob.
