One Head Too Many

Peter Tonkin. Severn House Publishers, $26.99 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-7278-5724-8

The grimmer aspects of Elizabethan London come alive in Peter Tonkin's (The Point of Death) latest in his Master of Defence series, One Head Too Many. After saving a pretty girl in peril from football hooligans near London Bridge, Tom Musgrave (aka the Master of Logic) stumbles on a severed female head-but the headless woman's body he shortly discovers down the Thames doesn't match.
