The Devlin Diary

From the bestselling author of The Rossetti Letter comes a â€œthrillingâ€ (Library Journal) novel of intrigue, passion, and royal secrets that shifts tantalizingly between Restoration-era London and present-day Cambridge, England.

London, 1672. A vicious killer stalks the court of Charles II, inscribing the victimsâ€™ bodies with mysterious markings.Are the murders the random acts of a madman?Or the violent effects of a deeply hidden conspiracy?

Cambridge, 2008. Teaching history at Trinity College is Claire Donovanâ€™s dream come trueâ€”until one of her colleagues is found dead on the banks of the River Cam. The only key to the professorâ€™s unsolved murder is the seventeenth-century diary kept by his last research subject, Hannah Devlin, physician to the kingâ€™s mistress. Through the arcane collections of Cambridgeâ€™s most eminent libraries, Claire and fellow historian Andrew Kent follow the clues Hannah left behind, uncovering secrets of Londonâ€™s dark past and Cambridgeâ€™s murky present and discovering that the events of three hundred years ago still have consequences today. . . .
