Set in medieval London, written by Toni Mount from Gravesend Kent, and featuring fascinating characters, including a cross-dressing male prostitute based on a real 14th century sex-worker; this new murder mystery will be launched at Sandwich Medieval Centre on 26th July.
The Colour of Darkness is the thirteenth instalment in the atmospheric Sebastian Foxley series of medieval murder mysteries. These well-researched and well-loved books are based on thorough historic research of London in the 14th and 15th centuries, and readers comment on the detailed historic basis of the stories, many of which actually happened, (but maybe at different times or to different people).
The book launch will be at 12 midday on Saturday 26th July and will be hosted by The Sandwich Medieval Centre, The Quay, Sandwich Kent CT13 9EN.
The Colour of Darkness is available for pre-order right now, as a paperback and kindle. Here is it's blurb:
"Midsummer in medieval London should be a time of revelry, but for many, there is nothing to celebrate. Death stalks the sweltering streets as plague raises its hideous head, livelihoods crumble, and trust wilts in the heat. Fire, theft, and murder loom over the city, and once again, artist and reluctant sleuth Sebastian Foxley finds danger perilously close to home.
When a beautiful young woman enchants the men of London, suspicion soon follows. The discovery of waxen dolls spiked with pins sends the city into a frenzy, convinced that witchcraft is to blame. With dark secrets lurking too near for comfort, Sebastian must unravel a tangled web of deceit and suspicion. Can he uncover the truth and protect those he loves before it's too late?
Join Sebastian Foxley for another richly woven medieval mystery where peril lurks behind every shadow and the colour of darkness hides deadly truths."
