Excellent historical mystery featuring Sir Issac Newton and his (fictional, I think) assisstant Christopher Ellis, taking place when Newton was Warden of the Royal Mint (as he was in real life) at the Tower of London in 1696. Well-written and richly woven with details of the period, the mystery itself is even an interesting one!
