England, 1587. With Mary, Queen of Scots awaiting execution and conflict with Spain drawing closer, Francis Walsingham’s intelligencer John Shakespeare intercepts evidence of a plot to kill Francis Drake. He is ordered to protect the admiral, whose survival may be essential to England’s defence.
At the same time, the mutilated body of a well-born young woman is discovered at a London printing house. Shakespeare’s inquiries connect court politics, clandestine publishing and the city’s criminal districts, drawing him into a conspiracy in which religious allegiance and foreign war cannot be separated from murder.
