Edmund Godfrey and the Fanatiques' Creed -in the Mean Streets of Restoration London, Justice Has a Name. Mr Justice Godfrey to You

Edmund Godfrey is a magistrate in 1660s London. He is called to investigate a murder which leads him to uncover a plot by religious terrorists to capture London & overthrow the Nation.- Godfrey is a real historical figure whose murder in 1678 divided the country & has never been solved. Based on true events mentioned in Pepys Diary."This was an excellent book, with another three in the series. The main character is based on a real Justice of the Peace; what he was like I cannot say but this guy is a bit like Mathew Shardlake (from C J Sansom) on steroids plus a sense of humour. It's a real original twist and all the better for it. Something of the Tom Swan about him. A stellar read. Enjoy!" - amazon review
