The Walsinghams find themselves in trouble in the fallout of the Babington Plot! For fans of Rory Clements, S J Parris, S W Perry and Andrew Taylor.

Mary Queen of Scots may be dead but support for the Catholic claim is still alive...

London, 1588

Mary Stuart, the deposed Queen of Scots, polestar of all Catholic intriguers, and a life-long danger to England has met the executioner's axe.

But many of her supporters still hold influential positions in Paris and her death has not endeared England to the French.

Unbeknownst to the Queen of England, her spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, had more than a little to do with manipulating her into finally condemning her cousin.

And now a letter has been leaked exposing Walsingham's secret to the Queen's ambassador in Paris, Sir Edward Stafford.

There is no love lost between Stafford and Walsingham and the ambassador will happily expose his nemesis, no matter the consequences for England.

Walsingham instructs his cousin Tom to travel to Paris to quell the rumours and discover Stafford's intentions. But then a troublesome Catholic leader, a kinsman of Stafford's, is suspected to have been poisoned, and Tom finds himself embroiled in another mystery.

Can Tom win the trust of Stafford? Will he save his cousin's reputation?

Or will the Parisians seek revenge on this hapless Englishman...?
