Jack Blackjack is ordered to eliminate a spy in Princess Elizabeth's household in this engaging Tudor mystery.
June,1554.Former cutpurse and now professional assassin Jack Blackjack has deep misgivings about his latest assignment. He has been despatched to the Palace of Woodstock, where Queen Mary's half-sister Princess Elizabeth is being kept under close guard. Jack's employer has reason to believe that a spy has been installed within the princess's household, and Jack has been ordered to kill her. Jack has no choice but to agree. But he arrives at Woodstock to discover that a murder has already been committed. As he sets out to prove his innocence by uncovering the real killer, Jack finds the palace to be a place steeped in misery and deceit; a hotbed of illicit love affairs, seething resentments, clashing egos and bitter jealousies. But who among Woodstock's residents is hiding a deadly secret - and will Jack survive long enough to find out? Jack's employer believes there is a spy in the princess's household and Jack has been ordered to kill her. He has no choice but to agree but, when he arrives, he discovers that a murder has already happened. Jack needs to prove his innocence by uncovering the real killer, but who is hiding a secret? And will Jack survive long enough to find out?
