Elizabeth I has taken the throne, but the new government remains vulnerable to religious division, dynastic rumour and court rivalry. Brendan Prescott returns as the queen’s confidential agent and is sent north after Lady Parry, one of Elizabeth’s attendants, disappears. At an isolated Yorkshire manor he encounters concealed Catholic loyalties, violence and evidence connected to his own disputed birth. Robert Dudley’s influence and Brendan’s earlier enemies complicate the investigation. The final Spymaster novel places a personal mystery inside the first unsettled years of Elizabeth’s reign, when service to the crown can demand the sacrifice of private identity.
