Book Synopsis
Enter a shadowy world of crime in Elizabethan London with this twisty historical mystery featuring a plucky nonbinary sleuth and a dash of queer romance! When Queen Elizabeth I is nearly assassinated, the rebellious heir to a criminal legacy seizes an opportunity for a better life. London, 1579. In the treacherous alleyways of London, Jack has left the life of petty crime behind them with the hope of making amends for her past by rooting out murderers. The daughter of a notorious and infamous father who controls the slums, Jack doesn't have a safe place to land and dreams of a better life. When someone makes an attempt on the Queen's life, it is up to Jack to catch the would-be-assassin and change her future forever. With the help of her mentor, Damian, who works as a coroner, and relying on criminal connections from her past to get information, Jack is officially on the case. But Jack's informants keep turning up dead, and every time Jack has a lead, the rug is pulled from under her feet. As Jack and Damian follow the trail of evidence, they will have to figure out who can be trusted. With the promise of redemption hanging over Jack's head, she will have to uncover who orchestrated the assassination attempt before she meets an untimely end in this historical mystery perfect for fans of Tasha Alexander.About the Author
