The second novel from the award-winning author of Mistress of the Art of Death.
Ariana Franklin (Diana Norman) was born in Devon and at twenty became the youngest reporter then on Fleet Street. She was also the author of the critically acclaimed Mistress of the Art of Death, Relics of the Dead and The Assassin's Prayer, all featuring anatomist Adelia Aguilar. She passed away in 2011.
Highly entertaining... Franklin is an adept storyteller who
disseminates her research into the period with clarity and
lightness of touch.
*The Times*
Franklin is one of the very best creators of medieval whodunits
writing today. The snow falls, the death toll mounts... and the
Thames freezes over in this wonderfully atmospheric, fast-paced and
intelligent recreation of a vanished world.
*Guardian*
Captivating... this excellent adventure delivers high drama.
*The New York Times*
It's as original as its prize-winning predecessor: a real
treat.
*Literary Review*
Mesmerizing... A colourful cast of characters, both good and evil,
enhance a tale that will keep readers on edge until the final
page.
*Publishers Weekly*
