Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "The Plymouth Cloak (Roger the Chapman #2)"
by Kate Sedley.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present/protected, fonts adjusted. 194 pages.
Description:
It is 1473, and the uneasy peace between England's houses of Lancaster and
York has begun to unravel yet again.
Rumors of invasion are rife, and Richard of Gloucester, the King's brother,
is determined to put a stop to the treacherous plots: To that end, he
dispatches a royal messenger to Duke Francis of Brittany with a secret
letter.
Roger the Chapman, meanwhile, is making his way to Exeter with his peddler's
pack, in the hopes that a stop in the thriving city will help his trade.
Roger found himself in Gloucester's good graces following their escapade at
London's Crossed Hands inn-the inquisitive peddler's very first act of
detection-and it seems the Duke has not forgotten the young man's ingenuity.
Richard calls upon Roger to accompany his messenger, Philip Underdown, to a
Brittany-bound ship at Plymouth. A devious fellow, Philip has more than his
fair share of enemies and is, Richard believes, in need of undercover
protection.
Roger soon discovers that his is not an easy task, as Philip seems to
attract animosity wherever they go. Is Philip's past catching up with him?
Or has the true nature of their journey been discovered by Lancastrian
rivals?
These are the questions Roger must answer, and do so before Philip's
mysterious enemies find their mark.
Deborah
