Mystery Historical
In his critically acclaimed debut thriller, Martyr,
Rory Clements introduced readers to the unforgettable John
Shakespeare, chief intelligencer to Queen Elizabeth I and
older brother to Will.
Now, five years later, the
Queen needs Shakespeare’s services once more. Not only is
England still at war with Spain, but her court is riven by
savage infighting among ambitious young courtiers.
Shakespeare is summoned by Elizabeth’s cold but deadly
Privy Councillor Sir Robert Cecil and ordered to undertake
two linked missions: to investigate the mystery of the
doomed Roanoke colony in North America—Sir Walter Ralegh’s
folly—and to spy on Cecil’s rival, the dashing Earl of
Essex.
Essex is the brightest star in the firmament,
the Queen’s favorite. But when Shakespeare enters Essex’s
dissolute world, he discovers not only that the Queen
herself is in danger, but that he and his family are also
targets. With a plague devastating the country, Catholics
facing persecution and martyrdom at the hands of an infamous
torturer, and John’s own wife, Catherine, possibly
protecting a priest—Shakespeare has his own survival to
secure, as well as that of his fading but still feisty
Queen.
Filled with the flavor and facts of a
tumultuous time in English history, Revenger is a
stunning novel of savage rivalries and reprisals from an
author swiftly becoming a known master of historical suspense.
John Shakespeare
