Redheaded Calumny Spinks is the lowliest man in an Essex backwater: half-French and still unapprenticed at seventeen, yet he dreams of wealth and title.\r\n\r\nWhen his father’s violent past resurfaces, Cal’s desperation leads him to become a coffee racketeer. He has just three months to pay off a blackmailer and save his father’s life - but his ambition and talent for mimicry pull him into a conspiracy against the King himself.\r\nThe Bitter Trade is a historical adventure set during the Glorious Revolution:\r\nRebellious silk trader Calumny Spinks must become a coffee racketeer and join the conspiracy against the King to save his father’s life.\r\n\r\n\r\nIn 1688, torn by rebellions, England lives under the threat of a Dutch invasion.
