Mystery Historical
1595. A former thief and a famed astrologist are engulfed by persecution and murder during England’s Golden Age in this new historical mystery series set during the colorful Tudor Era.
1595. An aging Sir Francis Drake sails from Plymouth, heading south on a doomed mission of plunder. It will end with his burial at sea off the coast of Panama—at least he'll be warm.
Back in England, semi‑reformed thief Kate Mayfield and her uncle, the notorious astrological physician Simon Mayfield, are stuck in rain‑lashed Devon. They're on the run from the law as a dismal summer turns into a turbulent autumn. Caught in a violent storm, they seek refuge at Dartwater Hall, a decaying manor house set in bleak moorlands. But death has followed them there.
When the master of the house dies in gruesome circumstances, they learn that a murderer is hiding in the shadows. Trapped and hunted, the two fugitives must solve a mystery with its roots deep in Tudor England's bloody past before they, too, become martyrs to their own, ignoble cause.
