London, 1554. Light-fingered Jack Blackjack wakes in a tavern's yard
with a sore head, his knife smeared with blood and a dead stranger lying
beside him. Jack may have robbed the man but he's certain that he didn't
kill him.
Unfortunately, the man's purse contains something much more valuable
than money and, as the prime suspect for the murder, everyone is on
Jack's tail. He needs to get out of the city, and fast, but a rebel army
is marching on London: the bridge is blocked and every gate manned.
Trapped in the city, Jack must avoid being caught long enough to find
the real murderer.
