The Colour of Darkness

About the book

Midsummer in medieval London is usually a time of celebration, but for many, there is little cause for joy. The streets are haunted by death as the plague spreads, livelihoods crumble, and trust evaporates in the oppressive heat. Fire, theft, and murder hang over the city like a dark cloud, and once again, artist and reluctant detective Sebastian Foxley finds himself facing danger too close to home.

When a captivating young woman captivates the men of London, suspicion quickly follows. The discovery of wax dolls pierced with needles drives the city into a panic, with many convinced that witchcraft is at play. With dangerous secrets lurking nearby, Sebastian must untangle a web of lies and distrust. Can he uncover the truth and protect his loved ones before it’s too late?

Step into Sebastian Foxley’s world once more, where medieval mysteries are intricately woven with peril lurking in every corner, and where the darkness conceals deadly secrets.
