Set in 1670 and the last days of King Charles II, this adventurous tale moves "from the Palace Yard to its intimate bedchambers, from the Temple Bar, from small dark alleys to Drury Lane and a sailing ship headed across the Channel--this story moves at a thunderous pace, sweeping the reader into a time when plots were brewing and kings relied heavily on the loyalty, agility and brains of their subjects."<br /> <br /> Solid and clean copy. Sharp unclipped dust jacket with slight wear. No previous owner or remainder markings.<br /> <br /> John Dickson Carr (1906 - 1977) was an American author of detective stories who is regarded as one of the greatest writers of "Golden Age" mysteries often set in England.
