Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "A Murder On London Bridge: Chaloner's
Fifth Exploit In Restoration London" by Susanna Gregory.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present, fonts adjusted.
455 pages.
Description:
The murder of a man in broad daylight on London Bridge is the first
indication that the Earl of Clarendon's fears of a rebellion against the
newly restored monarchy may be well-founded. His spy, Thomas Chaloner,
suspects the assassin may be a member of a group dedicated to seeing the
return of Puritanism, and at the same time he learns of a faction close to
the King determined to bring back the old ways of the Roman Catholic Church.
He discovers, too, that the killing on the Bridge is not the only assault
committed there recently, and begins to decipher a link between the violence
and the people who manage the Bridge and its tottering, ramshackle
buildings. As he moves unobtrusively between White Hall, the elegant
mansions along the Strand, and the heaving congestion on the only river
crossing he becomes aware of an undercurrent of restlessness in the capital.
And it soon becomes clear that the groups he is investigating are planning
some extraordinary climax to achieve their separate aims on Shrove Tuesday,
which gives him very little time to identify the ring-leaders and thwart
their intentions.
Deborah
