When a girl is gruesomely murdered, thief taker Charlie Tuesday reluctantly agrees to take on the case. But the horrific remains tell him this is no isolated death. The killer’s mad appetites are part of a master plan that could destroy London – and reveal the dark secrets of Charlie’s own past. Now the thief taker must find this murderous mastermind before the plague obliterates the evidence street by street. This terrifying pursuit will take Charlie deep into the black underbelly of old London, where alchemy, witchcraft and blood-spells collide. In a city drowned in darkness, death could be the most powerful magic of all.

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

Publisher's Summary

Abduction. Murder. A conspiracy that could bring down the King.

London, 1667: In the wake of the Great Fire, a new city has emerged from the flames. The King has reopened the capital’s theatres, and the royal court is hell-bent on debauched entertainment. But amid the raucous festivities, an actress shows up dead, dressed in the clothes of a missing girl. 

It’s a time of great change for thief taker Charlie Tuesday too: his old flame, Maria, is on the cusp of marrying someone else. But when she is abducted on the way to her wedding, Charlie realises her disappearance is linked to the murder. 

Meanwhile, as Lent draws to a close, London is exploding into shocking riot. With brothels and theatres being attacked, Charlie and his sidekick Lily must find clues before an angry mob does. And as the mystery deepens and violence fills the streets, can Charlie solve a riddle that threatens not just Maria, but London itself?

Totally Engrossing

The 4th installment of The Thief Taker series has lived up to the standard set by the 1st 3 books in the series. What politically, socially and morally explosive times the Jacobin era must have been. Tyrannical rule, Gunpowder plots, feverish religious extremism, social and political unrest, cruel living standards, for the commoners, set against the excesses of the ruling classes and you have the basis for a powerful engaging series of novels. Consider, also, Cromwell's Republican civil war, add to that the backdrop of the worst plague, in living memory, to be shortly followed by a fire that devastated London. I doubt C.S.Quinn could have imagined a better setting for these novels.
We get a guided tour of the times and places as seen through the eyes of the Thief taker, Charlie Tuesday. What an adventure it is. Charlie races through London, finding clues, avoiding villains, avoiding plague and fire, putting the puzzles together. All the time, against the clock.
The plot is exceptionally well put together. There is nothing left unexplained. There are no gaping holes. The Characters are multi dimensional. Even the historical figures seem to be true representations. I found myself doing a lot of research, during and after reading. So enthralling was this story. Steve West must take some of the credit for his brilliant performance of this tale.
I suspect there will be further volumes of this series. I hope so, anyhow.
