London, 1666. Agent provocateur Rufus Challis is given a secret mission by the Dutch government; an attack on England's capital in reprisal for wartime losses suffered that summer. He has a single weekend to put his plan into motion.
When Tom Farriner, second son to the King's baker, intercepts an aspect of Challis's plan, he investigates. Already, a friend's blood stains the cobbles. Is Tom man enough to bring Challis down? And to what lengths is Challis prepared to go to in order to see the city fall?
A novel for fans of CJ Sansom, Hilary Mantel, and Manda (MC) Scott, The Prospect of This City is a dark historical thriller with a blade concealed in its sleeve.

London in 1666 is not a reading destination I had visited prior to getting the chance to read and review this enjoyable and entertaining book by Eamonn Martin Griffin. The author has done a fine job of detailing the situation between the English and the Dutch and as such provides the necessary background and characters to bring about the historical conflagration. The story is laid out in a day by day format and is full of exquisite detail about life in London, the smell of the Thames, the piles of offal, the crowded byways and the sought after entertainments (puppet shows, street corner preachers, ale and whores.) The main characters are written in a believable fashion, from the religiously zealous Dutch agent who can rationalize any action he takes by the expedient of his relationship with God, to the rapidly diminishing naivete of the baker's son as he proceeds down a path full of intrigue, mystery and danger. Given that the story takes place in only three days (well, four counting the epilog), the pace is brisk but not as to detract from the author's ability to flesh out the plot and still throw in some surprises. 4 starsProduct details
