Londoner Jack Blackjack finds himself a stranger in a strange land
when he's accused of murder in rural Devon in this eventful Tudor
mystery. July, 1556. En route to France and escape from Queen
Mary's men, Jack Blackjack decides to spend the night at a Devon
tavern, agrees to a game of dice - and ends up accused of murder.
To make matters worse, the dead man turns out to have been the
leader of the all-powerful miners who rule the surrounding moors -
and they have no intention of waiting for the official court
verdict to determine Jack's guilt. But who would frame Jack for
murder . . . and why? Alone and friendless in a lawless land of
cut-throats, outlaws and thieves, Jack realizes that the only way
to clear his name - and save his skin - is to unmask the real
killer. But knowing nothing of the local ways and customs, how is
he to even begin? As Jack's attempts to find answers stirs up a
hornet's nest of warring factions within the town, events soon
start to spiral out of control . . .
