Beschreibung
A dark and enthralling historical novel with a powerful narrative. The mysterious Daniel Pursglove has all the qualifications for a memorable series hero' ANDREW TAYLOR

'Spies, thieves, murderers and King James I? Brilliant' CONN IGGULDEN

Gunpowder and treason changed England forever. But the tides are turning and revenge runs deep in this compelling historical thriller for fans of C.J. Sansom, Andrew Taylor's Ashes of London, Kate Mosse and Blood & Sugar.

1606. A year to the day men were executed for conspiring to blow up parliament, a towering wave devastates the Bristol Channel. Some proclaim God's vengeance. Others seek to take advantage.

In London, Daniel Pursglove sits shackled in prison and waits to die. But Charles FitzAlan, close adviser to King James I, has his eye on Daniel - and a job in mind that will free a man of his skills from the horrors of Newgate. If he succeeds.

For Bristol is a hotbed of Catholic spies, and where better for the lone conspirator who evaded arrest, one Spero Pettingar, to rally his supporters than in the chaos of a drowned city? Daniel journeys there to investigate the lead, but soon finds himself embroiled in a dark Jesuit conspiracy - and a string of brutal murders.
