Jack Blackjack' s search for an executioner' s son ensnares him in a fiendish mesh of schemes in this lively Tudor mystery. London. May, 1556. Hal Westmecott, one of the city' s most feared executioners, reckons Jack Blackjack owes him a favour - and now he' s come to collect his dues. Hal has ordered Jack to track down his long-lost son and, although Jack believes he' s been set an impossible task, he' s in no position to refuse. But when Jack' s search draws him to the attention of a ruthless nobleman, a dead priest' s vengeful brother and finally to a bloodstained body in a filthy lodging house, he comes to realize he is an unwitting pawn in a mesh of schemes dreamed up by the most powerful people in England. Just who is a friend, who is a foe - and will Jack escape with his life intact?

The novel' s energetic pace never flags * Publishers Weekly on The Dead Don' t Wait * The improbably and delightfully humorous protagonist moves the story to a surprising conclusion * Kirkus Reviews on The Dead Don' t Wait * Jecks brings the seamy side of Tudor London to life through rich, atmospheric descriptions of its taverns, brothels and streets * Publishers Weekly on A Missed Murder * Engrossing . . . Plot twists abound, but the novel' s greatest strength is its jaunty tone, plunging the reader into raucous Elizabethan England * Publishers Weekly on A Murder Too Soon *
