About the book
Jack Blackjack has returned to London in March 1557 and is enjoying a relaxed life after his perilous journey back to the city he loves. His main desires now are simple pleasures such as women, wine, beer, and more women.
However, his new parish of St Helen's has other plans for him. Just a week after meeting the alluring Miss Rachel Nailor, she is found dead in the church vestry. Someone is trying to make it look like Jack is the murderer!
Rachel Nailor, a supporter of Lady Elizabeth, had many secrets. The question remains: was she killed in a moment of passion, or was it part of a larger political scheme? Who had a motive to eliminate Rachel and frame Jack for the crime? The list of suspects is long, and Jack is running out of time.
With his boss pressuring him, and old enemies resurfacing to complicate Jack's already difficult situation, he is in grave danger!
