*****Part of the bestselling John Shakespeare series of Tudor spy
thrillers from Rory Clements, winner of the Ellis Peters Historical
Fiction Award***** '[Clements] does for Elizabeth's reign what CJ
Sansom does for Henry VIII's' Sunday Times ********** 1592. England
and Spain are at war, yet there is peril at home, too. The death of
her trusted spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham has left Queen
Elizabeth vulnerable. Conspiracies multiply. The quiet life of John
Shakespeare is shattered by a summons from Robert Cecil, the cold
but deadly young statesman who dominated the last years of the
Queen's long reign, insisting Shakespeare re-enter government
service. His mission: to find vital papers, now in the possession
of the Earl of Essex. Essex is the brightest star in the firmament,
a man of ambition. He woos the Queen, thirty-three years his
senior, as if she were a girl his age. She is flattered by him -
despite her loathing for his mother, the beautiful, dangerous
Lettice Knollys who presides over her own glittering court - a
dazzling array of the mad, bad, dangerous and disaffected. When
John Shakespeare infiltrates this dissolute world he discovers not
only that the Queen herself is in danger - but that he and his
family is also a target. With only his loyal footsoldier Boltfoot
Cooper at his side, Shakespeare must face implacable forces who
believe themselves above the law: men and women who kill without
compunction. And in a world of shifting allegiances, just how far
he can trust Robert Cecil, his devious new master?
