The 3rd in The Freddie Malone Adventures finds him in 17th Century London as a trusted secretary to Samuel Pepys, during two extraordinary events in 1665 and 1666. Accompanied by his loyal friends Connor and Ruby they are swept back to the plague-striken and fire-ravaged capital, where the streets are ruled by a merciless gang of criminals and kidnappers.
They are stalked through time by the menacing shrouded figure of the Collector, as if the pestilence and destruction were'nt enough to deal with. They witness these seismic events first hand, as their own adventures weave in and out of these historic times.
