Woodstock, June 1554. Jack is sent into the household where Princess Elizabeth is being held under guard and ordered to remove a suspected spy. He reaches the palace to find that someone has already been murdered, placing every servant, guard and courtier under suspicion.

To avoid becoming the convenient culprit, Jack investigates the rival loyalties and private relationships inside Elizabeth’s confinement. The mystery develops against Mary I’s attempt to secure the succession and contain opposition after Wyatt’s Rebellion, when even casual contact with the princess can be treated as political evidence.
