Samuel Pepys and the Stolen Diary

By M.J. Lee

Samuel Pepys has been keeping a diary for ten years; a diary that tells of his life at the court of Charles II. And of his own marital indiscretions.Now it has been stolen, along with his wife's favourite locket. Samuel must get it back, or he might lose his head in the Tower. He will certainly lose his wife, who thinks he's given her locket to his latest mistress. Together with his best friend, Will Hewer, he embarks on a quest to recover the lost items, leading him to the dark heart of a treacherous and corrupt Restoration London.Samuel Pepys and the Stolen Diary is a laugh out loud romp through the filthy streets of London, where hackney drivers boast of having the best seats for a hangin' and the poet laureate Dryden rewrites his plays for the highest bidder. Filled with historical colour and clever plot turns, you'll be cheering for Samuel and Will well after the last page is turned. Based on his famous diaries, this novel is the first of a new series. Samuel Pepys: Investigator.
