The Captain Coke series follows William Coke, a London street thief and highwayman, through two of the city’s greatest disasters. Plague is set during the Great Plague of 1665, and Fire takes place during the Great Fire of London in 1666. Both books are fast-paced historical thrillers.
The two novels capture London at its most desperate, with Coke navigating the chaos as both a criminal and someone trying to survive. Humphreys brings his characteristic physical energy to the action sequences, and the historical detail grounds the adventure in real events.
