Book description
July 1665. The great plague rages rampant outside London's city walls.
Harry Lytle makes a welcome return after his trials and tribulations in
The Sweet Smell of Decay to investigate the murder of the Earl of St
Albans. A grisly dinner-table death starts Harry off on the trail, and
it's not long before his familiar accomplice, Dowling the butcher, joins
him on the case. Their master, Lord Arlington, head of the King's
intelligence service, tasks them with uncovering the name and motive of
the Earl's murderer. But there will be plenty more deaths and scrapes
for Harry before the name is revealed. Paul Lawrence is British, has
travelled all over the world, and now lives with his wife and family in
Sydney, Australia.
