“This fast-moving tale becomes a winner….A fun read for fans of Elizabethan mysteries.”—Library Journal   “Sir Robert Carey is back at last in this fifth novel in P. F. Chisholm's Sir Robert Carey series, with the redoubtable Sergeant Henry Dodd matching wits with Sir Robert's mother, the darling and deadly Lady Hunsdon. Well worth the wait."—Dana Stabenow, Edgar-winning author of the Kate Shugak novels   "The renegade English professor in me let out a howl of delight."—Joanne Dobson, author of the Karen Pelletier mysteries   It’s September 1592, and the dark streets of London are full of people up to no good. The redoubtable Sergeant Dodd and that dashing Elizabethan gunslinger Sir Robert Carey are in London where Carey’s powerful father, Lord Henry Hunsdon, wants him to solve the mystery of a corpse that has washed up from the Thames River onto Her Majesty’s privy steps. Meanwhile, Sergeant Dodd is plotting how to take suitable revenge for his mistreatment by the Queen’s Vice Chamberlain, Thomas Heneage. But no lawyer will sue against such a dangerous courtier—until a mysterious stranger offers help with suspicious eagerness. Now, Sergeant Dodd has to help Carey find the identity of the corpse and its murderer, while bringing a little taste of the Borders to his dealings with Heneage.   Patricia Finney has a degree in modern history from Oxford University. She has published fifteen novels, including three Elizabethan thrillers, several children’s books, and the Robert Carey series of crime novels set in Elizabethan England.
