First came Plague, now comes Fire. Perfect for fans of S J Parris and C J Sansom. 1666. The epic tale of the hunt for a serial killer threatening London’s rich and poor during the GreatFire of London.
Londoners celebrate survival in different ways. The Great Plague has passed. They drink.
They gamble. They indulge in carnal delights. But 666 is the number of the Beast, the year foretold when Christ will return.
A gang of fanatics – the Saints - choose to hasten that prophesied day. They will kidnap, rape, murder.Above all, they will kill a king. Two men - the highwayman WilliamCoke and the thief-taker Pitman - are recruited to stop them.
Then in the early hours of September 2nd, 1666, something starts that will overtake them all… London’s a tinder box. Politically, sexually, religiously. Literally.
It is about to burn.
