London. May, 1556. Hal Westmecott reckons Jack Blackjack owes him a favour, and orders Jack to track down his long-lost son - and although it seems an impossible task, Jack's in no position to refuse. But as his search progresses, Jack comes to realize he is an unwitting pawn in a mesh of schemes dreamed up by the most powerful people in England.

Reviews

Plenty of historical detail, loads of twists and turns, and a hilarious tale of criminal ineptitude * Kirkus Reviews *
Diverting . The main draw is high-spirited Jack, with his Bertie Woosterish commentary. Fans of offbeat Tudor mysteries will clamor for more * Publishers Weekly *
Steeped in the rich, bawdy background of sixteenth-century London . . . Enough suspects and red herrings to keep mystery fans intrigued * Booklist on The Dead Don't Wait *
An enjoyable jaunt through mid-16th century England . . . The novel's energetic pace never flags * Publishers Weekly on The Dead Don't Wait *
The improbably and delightfully humorous protagonist moves the story to a surprising conclusion * Kirkus Reviews on The Dead Don't Wait *
Jecks brings the seamy side of Tudor London to life through rich, atmospheric descriptions of its taverns, brothels and streets * Publishers Weekly on A Missed Murder *
Engrossing . . . Plot twists abound, but the novel's greatest strength is its jaunty tone, plunging the reader into raucous Elizabethan England * Publishers Weekly on A Murder Too Soon *
