Beschreibung
The plague may have passed, but death wears a new, grim guise.
Deptford Docks, 1666. While London smoulders after the Great Fire, a black-cloaked figure, masked as a plague doctor, prowls the wharves by night.
Death follows - heralded by a black cross and the chilling words: Lord have mercy upon him.
When a naval colleague of Samuel Pepys finds the mark daubed on his own door, the diarist summons his inquisitors, Abigail Harcourt and Jacob Standish, to unmask the killer.
But Deptford is a place of hard men and old grudges, and the truth sinks fast in a barrel of rum.
As the madman in the beaked mask closes in, Abby and Jacob's second case becomes a race against time.
The Plague Doctor Murders continues the Samuel Pepys Mysteries: historical mysteries steeped in period colour and brimming with fiendish whodunits. Step back into Pepys's London - once you do, you won't want to leave.

Über den Autor
Ellis Blackwood writes very British historical mysteries: fiendish whodunits packed with singular characters, vivid period detail and plenty of wit. His completed nine-book Samuel Pepys Mysteries series is set in 17th century London. He is currently working on the Quill & Page Victorian Mysteries, featuring a found family of East End misfits investigating the crimes of the upper classes who cast them out.A former journalist, Ellis wrote features for the UK's most popular national newspapers and magazines before escaping to Cornwall with his wife, two daughters and Spike the dog. He holds an MA in Comedy Writing, which explains a [...] grew up on The Hardy Boys and Three Investigators, graduated to Sherlock Holmes, and has never quite recovered from Columbo. He prefers writing female sleuths, with the odd chap thrown in, and is firmly convinced that historical settings are simply more fascinating."Absolutely fabulous, reek of authenticity, full of intrigue and fun" - Amazon review of the Samuel Pepys Mysteries
