Grieving the sudden death of her grandmother, Tiffany is shocked to find she has inherited the horrible, ugly, dangerous Time-Travel Bag. Determined to burn it at the earliest opportunity, the bag suddenly flips open to reveal a big old-fashioned key on a long cord. Where is it from? What does it open? "Surely it's safe, here, in my bedroom to just look at it?" WRONG!

Tiffany is dragged into 1666 London by murdering slavers who have stolen her bag and now intend to ship her to the American colonies where she will be sold off as a 'wife'. Nell Gwynn (London's most famous actress) helps her escape and takes Tiffany to Nancy Scunner, a pawnbroker who "knoweth the lie of the land" and will help Tiffany recover her bag - at a price!

Grave-robbing, skullduggery and fiendish plots see Tiffany and Nell working together at the King's Company Theatre where Tiffany uncovers an assassination attempt on the life of Charles II of England.

Will the King be blown up in a second gunpowder plot? Will the plotters succeed and drive England back into civil war? And can Tiffany escape the Great Fire of London? A well-researched historical novel told from the humorous, snarky viewpoint of a modern teenager with a talent for lying in any situation - and a horror of a world without toilet paper!
