The

atmospheric
new
historical
thriller
featuring
John
Gower,

and
trader
of
secrets.
Set
in
the
turbulent
14th
Century,
this
is
perfect
for
fans
of
C.
J.
Sansom.London,
1386:
young
King
Richard
II
faces
the
double
threat
of
a
French
invasion
and
growing
unrest
amongst
his
barons
–
and
now
there's
evil
afoot
in
the
City.
Sixteen
corpses
have
been
discovered
in
a
sewer,
their
wounds
like
none
ever
seen
before.
One
thing
is
clear:
whoever
threw
the
bodies
into
the
sewer
knew
they
would
be
found
–
and
was
powerful
enough
not
to
care.Enter
John
Gower,
poet
and
intellectual
whose
'peculiar
vocation'
is
dealing
in
men's
secrets.
Against
the
backdrop
of
medieval
London
with
its
grand
palaces
and
churches,
dark
alleys
and
mean
backstreets,
Gower
pursues
his
dangerous
quarry.
Seeking
insights
from
his
friend
Geoffrey
Chaucer
and
using
his
network
of
contacts,
Gower
comes
to
the
shocking
belief
that
the
men
have
been
killed
by
a
new
and
deadly
weapon
of
war.Known
as
'the
handgonne',
it
would
put
untold
power
into
the
hands
of
whoever
perfected
its
design.
But
who
has
commissioned
this
weapon?
A
man
who
would
stop
at
nothing
to
achieve
his
secret goal.
