The Royal Secret
First published 2021
In 1670, two girls perform a supposed act of witchcraft shortly before a government clerk dies in agony. James Marwood is asked to investigate the death and recover sensitive papers, but the case reaches into the rival interests of England, France and the Dutch Republic.
Cat Hakesby receives a royal commission to design a poultry house for Charles II’s beloved sister, Henrietta Anne Stuart, and carries the project to the French court. Her journey intersects with Marwood’s inquiry and a dynastic secret capable of altering the European balance of power.
