Thomas Sutton's reputation as the wealthiest commoner in England at the time of his death in 1611 was matched by the scale of the charity which he founded at the Charterhouse in Clerkenwell. This work examines the Charterhouse's significance as England's leading charity and the support and opposition that it attracted.

The story of London's Clerkenwell and Smithfield neighbourhood, from prehistory through to the present day, is illustrated by archaeological investigations undertaken as part of the Crossrail Central development. Excavation showed how, from being on the margins of the city, this area was occupied by religious houses and a cattle market, before developing into a densely packed suburb as London's population exploded. Charterhouse Square was known to be the site of the West Smithfield cemetery, one of two London emergency burial grounds established during the Black Death (1348-9); the 25 individuals excavated are the first large group of burials recovered. The plague pathogen was identified in skeletons from each of three phases of burial, indicating that these were the victims of multiple plague outbreaks from the Black Death into the 15th century. Also located as it flowed west into the Fleet was the Faggeswell brook - the southern boundary of the plague cemetery and of the monastic precinct of the London Charterhouse, founded in 1371. This massive ditch had been filled in the mid 17th century with rubbish and waste from the livestock market and nearby households, some evidently wealthy.

Three times DCI Pascoe has wrongly accused dead-pan joker Franny Roote. This time he’s determined to leave no gravestone unturned as he tries to prove that the ex-con and aspiring academic is mad, bad, and dangerous to know. Meanwhile, Edgar Wield rides to the rescue of a child in danger, only to find he has a rent-boy with a priceless secret under his wing. DC Bowler is looking forward to a blissful New Year with the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, her dreams are filled with a horror too terrible to tell . . . And over all this activity broods the huge form of DS Andy Dalziel. As trouble builds, the Fat Man discovers (as have many deities before him) that omniscience can be more trouble than it’s worth and that sometimes all omnipotence means is that you can have any colour you want, as long as it’s black.
