 Every Londoner has money worries. Talented artist and some-time sleuth, Seb Foxley, is no exception.


When fellow craftsmen with debts to pay are found dead in the most horrid circumstances, fears escalate. Only Seb can solve the puzzles that baffle the authorities.


Seb's wayward elder brother, Jude, returns unannounced from Italy with a child-bride upon his arm. Shock turns to dismay when life becomes more complicated and troubles multiply.


From counterfeit coins to deadly darkness in London's worst corners; mysterious thefts to attacks of murderous intent, Seb finds himself embroiled at every turn. With a royal commission to fulfil and heartache to resolve, can our hero win through against the odds?


Share Seb Foxley's latest adventures in the filthy streets of medieval London, join in the Midsummer festivities and meet his fellow citizens, both the respectable and the villainous.

Industry Reviews

"An atmospheric and compelling thriller that takes the reader to the dark heart of medieval London." - Tracy Borman, joint Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces

"An exciting medieval murder mystery. The author's knowledge of medieval history shines through the narrative in the small details which enhance the story woven into it. The details about the inside workings of medieval trade practices lent themselves perfectly for a background to murder and deceit." - Rosalie Glibert, medieval historian and author

"...superbly crafted ... an irresistible story..." - Matthew Lewis, Author of non-fiction histories and historical fiction

"...superbly rendered ... page-turner" - Mel Starr

"Toni Mount is simply brilliant. If you love CJ Sansom's Matthew Shardlake - and I do - you will love Toni's Sebastian Foxley. From learning how a 15th-century scrivener created illuminated manuscripts to venturing within the dank tunnels beneath the Tower of London, Toni is an artist who completely immerses the reader in another time and place and always leaves one eager for the next book." - Samantha Willcoxson, author & historian

"Leave it to Seb to unravel another international spiderweb of intrigue, betrayal, murder, and deceit. Our flawed, loveable hero has done it again. And at the end of it all, his future is looking brighter than ever. I cannot wait to find out what happens to him next!" - Stephanie Churchill, author of historical fiction and epic fantasy

"A beautifully crafted mystery that brings the dark, dangerous streets of medieval London to life. Toni Mount is a magician with words, weaving a captivating story in wonderful prose. The Colour of Evil is, to put it simply, a pleasure to read." - Sharon Bennet Connoly, author and medieval historian

"The ninth instalment of Toni Mount's popular Seb Foxley series is sure to delight Seb's many fans. Mount puts her deep knowledge of late medieval England to good use once again and takes us on another exciting adventure, this time with Seb's older brother Jude, returned from Italy, in tow. Mount's detailed world-building, as always, brings fifteenth-century London to life." - Kathryn Warner, history author
