Items related to After the Fire (Betsy Brand)
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.

Review:
"Pilkington's latest takes this long-running and popular series to a new level. It is rich in period ambience, with authentic-sounding dialogue and realistic descriptions of the customs and mores of sixteenth-century England. The plot is intriguing and offers plenty of page-turning suspense. . . . A good series steps up." —Booklist starred review of The Mapmaker's Daughter
