The Tyburn Guinea: A Fragment

Please note: This is an unrevised and unfinished fragment of a novel by Richard Blake.

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?

This unfinished fragment of a novel by Richard Blake is offered free in e-book format as a sample of his finished works. Do not be disappointed if it leaves you in suspense.

One day, someone may pay him to finish it....
