- The Clerkenwell affair / by Gregory, Susanna,1958-author.;
PREVIOUS BOOK IN SERIES: INTRIGUE IN COVENT GARDEN, ISBN 9780751562699. In the spring of 1666 everyone's first reaction to a sudden death at the palace of White Hall is that the plague has struck, but the killing of Thomas Chiffinch was by design, not disease, and Thomas Chaloner is ordered to undertake the investigation. At the same time, London is abuzz with rumors of dissent and rebellion, fueled by predictions from a soothsayer in Clerkenwell of a rain of fire destroying the capital on Good Friday. Chaloner initially dismisses such talk as nonsense, but as he uncovers ever more connections to Clerkenwell among his suspects, he begins to fear that there is also design behind the rumors - and that, come Easter Day, the King and his Court might find themselves the focus of yet another rebellion.- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Historical fiction.; Chaloner, Thomas (Fictitious character); Secret service; Murder; Courts and courtiers;

- The Pudding Lane plot / by Gregory, Susanna,1958-author.;
"As the people and businesses of London are quickly recovering from the ravages of the plague, in Westminster, plans are afoot for a grandiose ball in honour of a long-dead but English-born Pope. Meanwhile, the markets and coffee houses in the city are awash with rumours of war and portents of a coming disaster. Mysterious killings at both ends of the capital have been caused by an unusually long, slender blade, and Thomas Chaloner is ordered to investigate. This leads him into a tapestry of conspiracy, outlandish claims of the Second Coming, the reappearance of a number of regicides and ever more brazen killings. As the date of the great ball looms closer, Chaloner fears that there is a dangerously credible conspiracy against the throne, and he has very little time to prevent history from repeating itself."--Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Historical fiction.; Novels.; Chaloner, Thomas (Fictitious character); Conspiracies; Courts and courtiers; Murder; Secret service;
