About this listen
The third book in the iconic John Shakespeare series, beloved by thousands of readers, from true master of historical fiction, Rory Clements.
-------------------------------------------------------
'Sixteenth-century London comes alive in all its tawdriness' Daily Mail
'Beautifully done . . . alive and tremendously engrossing' Daily Telegraph
'Plot and dialogue that hums with Elizabethan slang, profanity and wit' The Times
'Enjoyable, bloody and brutish' Guardian
-------------------------------------------------------
Spring 1593. England is a powder keg of rumour and fear.
Plague rages, famine is rife, the ageing Queen's couriers scheme: Elizabeth's Golden Age is truly tarnished. Meanwhile Spain watches and waits - and plots.
Into this turmoil a small cart clatters through the streets of London, carrying a deadly load. It is the first in a wave of horrific bombing attacks on the Dutch immigrant community that will change John Shakespeare's life for ever.
Driven on by cold rage, his investigations will take him from royal horseraces to opulent brothel chambers, from the theatrical underworld of Marlowe and Kyd to pain-wracked torture cells , and from the elegant offices of master tactician Robert Cecil to the splintering timbers of an explosive encounter at sea.
As Shakespeare delves ever deeper, he uncovers intricate layers of mystery and deception that threaten the heart not only of the realm, but of all that he holds dear.
