Produktbeschreibung

'The mysterious Daniel Pursglove has all the qualifications for a memorable series hero' ANDREW TAYLOR

'The intrigues of Jacobean court politics simmer beneath the surface in this gripping and masterful crime novel' KATHERINE CLEMENTS

A captivating historical novel of betrayal, conspiracy and ice for readers of C.J. Sansom, Andrew Taylor's Ashes of London and Kate Mosse.

In the frozen winter of 1607, a man is struck down in the grounds of Battle Abbey. Before dawn breaks over the icy woods, he is dead.

In London, Charles FitzAlan, close confidante of King James I, receives troubling news from Sussex. The recusant Viscountess Montague is rumoured to be hiding fugitive Catholic priests in plain sight at Battle Abbey. But the last man sent to expose this treachery was silenced before his report could reach the King.

FitzAlan summons Daniel Pursglove to infiltrate the household and learn its secrets. But there is one person who Daniel senses only in the shadows and whispers in the walls. Is it just his imagination, or could the notorious traitor Spero Pettingar finally be close at hand?
