The intriguing new mystery featuring Tudor sleuth, Mistress Rosamond Jaffrey." When Lina Walkenden is found clutching a bloody knife over the dead body of her brother-in-law and guardian, there s only one person she can turn to for help: her childhood friend Rosamond Jaffrey. Rosamond vows to do all she can to prove Lina s innocence, but when it transpires Lina was being forced into a marriage against her will and was instead besotted by her fiancé s charming yet unscrupulous nephew, her motives for murder seem overwhelming. In desperation, Rosamond seeks out the help of the Queen s spymaster himself, Sir Francis Walsingham but when she overhears a conversation at the French Embassy, it seems Lina s plight is irrelevant in the face of potential treason. Rosamond must do all she can to save her friend and keep herself and her family safe from a desperate killer.
