Archer Bows In

Nineteen years old, alone in a dark and squalid city, Will Archer comes face to face with death. Trying to build a new life for himself after a blighted childhood, Will is drawn unwittingly into a world of political intrigue and personal betrayal. One where he will need all his wits about him to avoid danger. A finely crafted murder mystery set in a period which is both familiar yet also quite alien. A gripping read in which the pace never slackens as Will Archer confronts a vicious personal enemy and becomes involved in events of national importance beyond his control. Will Archer is a compelling main character, totally convincing with all his faults, but smart and resourceful in even the trickiest predicament. One of the finest character debut novels in a long time and highly recommended. Even if the murder mystery genre isn’t your thing, give this a go. You won’t regret it.
