Royal Vice

A TERRIBLE FIND. It is dangerous to be close to Charles II: sometimes a single misstep leads to disgrace, exile, and even death. The most prominent nobles of England are fighting for a place on the throne. And the scales... may tip against Lord Clarendon when a dead body is found in the well of his house... WHO IS THE KILLER? James Marwood, a clerk in government service, is tasked with investigating this case, which absolutely must not become public knowledge. Meanwhile, Marwood knows a person who has every reason to wish Edward Alderley, found dead, dead — it is his cousin Catherine Lovett, the daughter of a regicide. A multitude of evidence points to her. Now she could be sent to the gallows... THE STAKES ARE HIGHER THAN EVER. Marwood is convinced that Cat is innocent, so he decides to find the real killer. But time is running out. If he makes a mistake, it could threaten the reputation of the king himself... For the first time in Russian!
