Beschreibung
"London, 1679--A year has passed since the sensational attempt to murder King Charles II, but London is still a viper's nest of rumored Catholic conspiracies, and of plots against them in turn. When Harry Hunt--estranged from his mentor Robert Hooke--is summoned to the remote and windswept marshes of Norfolk, he is a first relieved to get away. But in Norfolk, he finds that some royal workers shoring up a riverbank have made a grim discovery--the skeleton of a dwarf. Harry is able to confirm that the skeleton is that of Captain Jeffrey Hudson, a prominent member of the court once famously given to Queen Henrietta Maria in a pie. Except no one knew Hudson was dead, because another man had been impersonating him."--Book jacket flap.

Robert Lloyd, the son of parents who worked in the British Foreign Office, grew up in South London, Innsbruck, and Kinshasa. He studied for a Fine Art degree, starting as a landscape painter, but it was while studying for his MA degree in The History of Ideas that he first read Robert Hooke's diary, detailing the life and experiments of this extraordinary man. After a 20-year career as a secondary school teacher, he has now returned to painting and writing. He is the author of The Bloodless Boy, which was selected by Publishers Weekly as a Mystery Book of the Year and The New York Times as a Best New Historical Novel of 2021.
