The Fire Court

The Fire Court is the sequel to The Ashes of London, set in Restoration London in 1667, after the Great Fire has ravaged the city. London is slowly rebuilding, a process overseen by the 'Fire Court' which is tasked with settling legal disputes over property to facilitate construction. James Marwood, son of a traitor and working for Charles II's Intelligence Service, is thrust into a new murder investigation when his ailing father claims to have stumbled upon a murdered woman near the Fire Court. Shortly after, his father is killed in what appears to be an accident, plunging Marwood into a quest for the truth as he suspects foul play and discovers the body of a woman in the ruins. Compelled to uncover the truth, Marwood seeks out Cat Lovett, a regicide's daughter who is still in hiding under the name Jane Hakesby. They must work together to confront a vicious and increasingly desperate killer whose actions threaten the future of the city itself.
