The Colour of Shadows

About the book

When Seb Foxley stumbles upon a child’s body in his workshop and another boy disappears, the medieval detective is left baffled at every twist and turn. His inquiries lead him to venture across London Bridge to Bankside in Southwark, where he finds himself entangled in the dark underworld of the city.

Bankside is a web of vice and criminality, where each prostitute schemes to ruin upstanding men and every rogue harbors a hidden agenda. In this unfamiliar realm, can Seb untangle the murky enigmas of The Mermaid Tavern, locate the missing boy, and reunite him with his family?

Meanwhile, chaos reigns in the Foxley household as Seb’s archenemy reemerges in London. Several noble lords prove to be unstable and perilous. As Seb prepares to welcome a second child, he is arrested on suspicion of murder. With his apprentices misbehaving, can our protagonist prevail in the end?
