商品簡介
A truly fine historical series - Library Journal
BE YE HUNTER OR PREY?
Introducing Thomas Finbow falconer to Sir Robert Vicary and Lady Margaret of Petbury, Berkshire. He keeps his mind sharp and his body primed as he goes about his duties with the diligent confidence of one who once served Queen and country.
When Nathaniel Pickering, Lady Margaret s older brother is found murdered, Thomas takes her away to London, in search of gryfalcons. Lady Margaret being a keen lover of the sport of falconry herself, Thomas hopes it will help distract his mistress from her grief, however once they reach the city it becomes apparent that much bigger things are at play and the murder of Master Pickering was just the beginning
Thomas's astute mind is unable to ignore the clues, and in uncovering some dark secrets, he places himself - and his mistress - in grave danger. Now a target himself, Thomas must face some of London's most notorious criminals, in a battle of both brain and brawn.
Perfect for fans of C J Sansom, Andrew Taylor and S J Parris.
