CITY ON FIRE. London, 1666. The Great Fire turns the streets into a dangerous labyrinth. In the ruins of the burnt St. Paul's Cathedral, the body of a man is found with a fatal wound to the back of the head and his thumbs tied behind his back - this is the sign of a regicide: one of those who some time ago signed the death warrant for Charles I. James Marwood, a clerk at government service. WOMAN ON THE RUN. Marwood saves a determined and ungrateful young lady from certain death, who will stop at nothing to defend her freedom. Many people in London have something to hide during these troubled times, and Kat Lovett is no exception. As, indeed, is Marwood himself... A KILLER THIRSTING FOR REVENGE. When a second victim is plucked from the muddy waters of Fleet Ditch with his hands tied behind his back, James Marwood finds himself in the path of a killer with nothing to lose and who will stop at nothing. For the first time in Russian!
