About this ebook

Nominated for the "FUNNIEST BOOK OF THE YEAR" Lefty Award at Left Coast Crime 2003

The sequel to Fidelis Morgan’s hugely entertaining debut, UNNATURAL FIRE, again featuring the irrepressible Countess Ashby de la Zouche and her stupendously bosomed former maid, Alpiew, on the trail of murder and mayhem.

Once again Anastasia Ashby de la Zouche, Baroness Penge, Countess of Clapham, former mistress to Charles II, finds herself embroiled in the darker side of early 18th century London.

The Rival Queens is a tale of actresses, syphilis, juvenile delinquency, artifice, hot drinks and murder… not to mention The Passions and the doings of Samuel Pepys.
