Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "A Conspiracy Of Violence: Chaloner's First
Exploit In Restoration London" by Susanna Gregory.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present, all fonts adjusted.
505 pages.
Description:
The grim days of Cromwell are past. Freed from the structures of the
Protectorate, London seethes with new energy, but many of its citizens have
lost their livelihoods. One is Thomas Chaloner, a reluctant spy for the
feared Secretary of State, John Thurloe. His erstwhile employer recommends
Thomas to Lord Clarendon, but in return demands that Thomas keep him
informed of any plot against him. But what Thomas discovers is that Thurloe
had sent another ex-employee to White Halland he is dead, purportedly
murdered by footpads near the Thames. Thomas volunteers to investigate his
killing, but instead he is dispatched to the Tower to unearth the gold
buried by the last Governor. There, he discovers not treasure, but evidence
that, whomever is in power, greed and self-interest are uppermost in men's
minds. And that his own life has no value to either side.
Deborah
