Holy Spy (John Shakespeare Mystery)

Holy Spy features the Queen's Intelligencer, John Shakespeare in the latest of Rory Clements' acclaimed and bestselling series of Tudor spy thrillers.

In London's smoky taverns, a conspiracy is brewing: a group of wealthy young Catholic dissidents plots to assassinate Elizabeth, free Mary Queen of Scots - and open England to Spanish invasion. But the conspirators have been infiltrated by Sir Francis Walsingham's top intelligencer, John Shakespeare.

Shakespeare, however, is torn: the woman he loves stands accused of murder. In a desperate race against time he must save her from the noose and the realm from treachery. And then it dawns that both investigations are inextricably linked - by corruption very close to the seat of power . . .
