After the Fire A Mystery of the Restoration Playhouse / Volume 1

A young actress with a role in a Shakespeare tragedy finds herself investigating real-life murders In 1670, in the turbulent time following the Great Fire, a series of chilling murders shakes Restoration London. All are linked to the new Dorset Gardens Theatre where feisty young Betsy Brand is playing First Witch in Macbeth. It seems that a shadowy figure called The Salamander, who haunted London during the Fire, has returned to wreak cruel revenge on his enemies. With the authorities utterly baffled, Betsy takes on a new role as an investigator. She reasons that perhaps a clever, courageous actress can unravel the deepening mystery. But soon she faces a more terrible foe than ever stalked upon a stage — and finds her own life is at stake "In 1670, in the turbulent time following the Great Fire, a series of chilling murders shakes Restoration London.
