DISCOVER A GRIPPING HISTORICAL MYSTERY YOU WON’T WANT TO PUT DOWN

Before Jack the Ripper, there was the Salamander.

London, 1670. The Great Fire is all burned out. Now the city lies in ruins and a series of chilling murders is playing out on the London stage.

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES . . .

Betsy Brand is an actress performing in Macbeth at the new Dorset Gardens Theatre. Every night she watches Joseph Rigg, the company’s most dazzling talent, in the throes of death as Banquo.

UNTIL ONE NIGHT HE STOPS PLAYING

Betsy watches in horror as Rigg collapses mid-performance, poisoned. London’s theatre world turns upside down as more deaths follow.

The authorities are baffled. But Betsy is determined to get to the bottom of it all.

EVEN IF IT MEANS SOLVING THE CASE HERSELF

Betsy hears rumours that a shadowy figure called the Salamander has returned. He had haunted London during the Great Fire and now he is wreaking revenge on his enemies. But her foe is more cunning than Macbeth himself. And time is running out.

CAN SHE UNMASK THE KILLER BEFORE SHE BECOMES HIS NEXT VICTIM?

Perfect for fans of Erin Morgenstern, Sarah Perry, Laura Shepherd-Robinson, S. J. Parris, C. J. Samson and Rory Clements.
