Description: | Select Guide Rating The fourth book in the Cragg & Fidelis historical crime series, from a master of the genre. 1743, and the tanners of Preston are a pariah community, plying their unwholesome trade beside a stretch of riverside marsh where many Prestonians by ancient right graze their livestock. When the body of a newborn child is found in one of their tanning pits, Cragg''s enquiry falls foul of a cabal of merchants, dead set on modernising the town''s economy and regarding the despised tanners - and Cragg''s apparent championship of them - as obstacles to their plan. The murder of a baby is just the evidence they need to get rid of the tanners once and for all. |
