Pact with Death

Joslin and Alys come to London with their dreadful news. But Death still follows them. A body is pulled out of the Thames. It bears both the deadly marks of the Black Death and a slit throat. How can a man die twice? There is a vengeful double-dealer in death at large and Joslin finds himself facing the same fate from the evil figure who claims the Devil's special protection.

" Will of Essex dug quickly through the loose soil and piled it high on one side. He and a constable jumped into the grave and lifted the coffin out. Carefully, because soon he would have to replace it so it would last until the Day of Judgement itself, Will prised the lid open. He leant down and shone his lantern on the dead face."
