Buy the book from:
England, 1582. On his first major mission for Francis Walsingham, the young John Shakespeare is ordered to investigate a conspiracy to release Mary, Queen of Scots, from captivity at Sheffield Castle. The plot is part of the wider struggle between Elizabeth I’s Protestant government and Catholics who regard Mary as the rightful queen.
Shakespeare’s inquiries lead into his native Warwickshire, where political suspicion reaches people he has known since childhood. The mission forces him to choose between the demands of secret service and the safety of friends and family caught within a conflict of faith and succession.
