The year is 1657, Oliver Cromwell is in power in England, and joy has been outlawed. A young lawyer with a taste for beer and pretty women, John Grey finds pleasures enough, even in this backwater Essex town, but he'd be wise to keep his amusement to himself: A Royalist spy has been found dead in a local ditch, and Cromwell's agents make it clear this is nothing to laugh about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLC (Len) Tyler is a British writer best known for the Ethelred \u0026amp; Elsie series, for which he has received two Edgar nominations and the UK's Last Laugh award for best humorous mystery of the year.
