THE NEW BESTSELLING SERIES FROM THE MASTER OF HISTORICAL CRIME FICTION, S. J. PARRIS

England, 1601.

Treason threatens the realm.

When the body of a Scottish envoy washes up on the banks of the Thames, the Queen’s most powerful spymaster, Robert Cecil, is accused of arranging the murder.

Cecil turns to his covert intelligencer Sophia de Wolfe to discreetly discover what the dead man was doing in London, and why he was killed. But this murder is borne of treacherous political currents.

As loyalties shift and rebellion foments, as the Earl of Essex makes a dangerous play for power, Sophia is fast drawn into perilous waters.

Everyone wants the Queen’s hard-won favour, even as tensions rise and the country begins to look for new answers. And Sophia has her own secrets to hide…

Praise for S. J. Parris’s bestselling Sophia de Wolfe series…

‘Sophia is a dazzling heroine, and the world of late Elizabethan England brimful of plot and conspiracy, is vividly and thrillingly brought to life’ LAURA SHEPHERD-ROBINSON

‘Right from the intriguing opening pages everything Parris layers into this Elizabethan crime drama screams bestselling series’ OBSERVER

‘A new historical crime from S. J. Parris is always cause for celebration but she really has excelled herself with Traitor’s Legacy‘ ANDREW TAYLOR

‘S. J. Parris begins what promises to be an equally entertaining new series with this novel set in late Elizabethan England’ THE TIMES

‘A writer who repeatedly proves that she is one of the most stylish of historical crime practitioners’ FINANCIAL TIMES
