Hi all,
I've just submitted for proofing "Murder On High Holborn: Chaloner's Ninth
Exploit In Restoration London" by Susanna Gregory.
It's been read and spell-checked. All headers stripped, page numbers/chapter
titles present/protected, fonts adjusted.
440 pages.
Description:
The ninth adventure for Chaloner sees the Restoration London spy foil a
conspiracy In 1665 England faces war with the Dutch and the capital is
awash with rumors of conspiracy and sedition. These are more frenetic than
normal because of the recent sinking in the Thames of one of the largest
ships in the navy, a disastrous tragedy that could very well have been
caused by sabotage. As an experienced investigator, Thomas Chaloner knows
that there are very few grains of truth in the shifting sands of the
rumor-mill, but the loss of such an important warship and the murder of Paul
Ferine, a Groom of the Robes, in a brothel favored by the elite of the
Palace of White Hall makes him scent a whiff of genuine treason. As well as
investigating the murder, Chaloner is charged with tracking down the leaders
of a fanatical sect known as the Fifth Monarchists. He suspects his masters
are not particularly concerned by their amateur antics, and that the order
for him to infiltrate the group is intended to distract him from uncovering
some unsavory facts about Ferine and his courtly associates. Then, as he
comes to know more about the Fifth Monarchists and their meetings on High
Holborn, he discovers a puzzling number of connections-to both Ferine's
murder and those involved with the defense of the realm. Connections that
he must disentangle before it is too late to save the country.
