Description

"Eastwold, 1670, and local legend tells how on a still night, if you stand on the beach there, you can still hear the bells of the drowned church of St James tolling mournfully beneath the waves... Eastwold, once one of the greatest ports in England, has been fighting a losing battle with the sea ever since it was granted its charter by King John. Bit by bit the waves have eaten the soft cliffs on which it stands, until only a handful of houses remain. But still it sends two MPs to Parliament and rich men from London are prepared to pay well for the votes of the dozen or so remaining burgesses of the town. When one of their MPs, the unpopular Admiral Digges, ends up in a fishing net, every bit as drowned as his constituency, most of the voters are looking forward to a profitable byelection. But is it an accident, or has Digges been murdered? And then an attempt is made on the life of the other MP, former banker, Sir Isaac Cavendish. And so Cavendish's son sends for his old friend, John Grey, to ask for his help. Hot on the heels of Grey is Samuel Pepys, ready to impose another naval candidate on the town on the instructions of his master, the Duke of York. But when his nominee also comes under fire, Pepys proposes a joint investigation. With spring edging cautiously towards the windswept east coast, Grey and Pepys start to question the remaining residents and other well-paid officials of the non-existent town. They meet with suspicion and obstruction. But very soon Grey thinks he may have some idea as to what has happened -- and the answer may lie beneath the cold, grey waters of the drowned town."--Provided by publisher.
