Fourth in the series. Sir Robert Carey is summoned to London by his father because his brother is missing. But before they even get to the city they are set upon by men waiting in ambush. As always, there are plots within plots and treachery is everywhere. Sergeant Dodd is far out of his element and struggling to make sense of it all, Carey is dodging his creditors, and the plague has returned. Rich with historical detail. A new reader would probably enjoy this book but IMO it would lose a lot of flavor if you don't already know the characters. Speaking of characters, this one has some well-known historical figures crop up...including Will Shakespeare with a crush on a wicked woman.
As I write this in 2017, there are at least 3 more in the series.
