Synopsis: London 1696 - War. Treason. Espionage. Financial chaos. Speculation.
Sarah Goodricke writes plays. It pays the rent. It keeps her in tobacco and laudanum. She has a play to finish. Then she gets caught up in a hanging procession to Tyburn. She agrees to perform a last service for one of the convicts. It goes wrong. It goes terribly wrong. Sarah runs. Sarah thinks she is safe. But can she hide in a city filled with plotters, all desperate to lay hands on the packet of letters she has carried away from Tyburn?

Draft version of an unpublished novel which, despite the premise, failed to captivate and engage. And yes - I was disappointed that I was not left in suspense as promised. Narrative was just not for me. And so continued by run of DNFs.
