Synopsis
Charles Spencer's thrilling sequel to Killer of the King tells an old story with new eyes as it recalls the manhunt for Charles II that followed the rebellion that spurred his father's beheading in 1649.
A true story packed with action and adventure, Spencer has thoroughly researched the events and uses Samuel Pepys account to reveal what happened.

About the Author
Charles Spencer was educated at Eton College and obtained his degree in Modern History at Magdalen College, Oxford. He was a reporter on NBC's Today show from 1986 until 1995, and is the author of four books, including the Sunday Times bestseller Blenheim: Battle for Europe (shortlisted for History Book of the Year, National Book Awards) and Prince Rupert: The Last Cavalier.
Review
`Authoritative narrative history with the pace of a Jason Bourne film', Books of the Year, Evening Standard `A truly thrilling tale which Spencer, a natural storyteller, delivers with erudition and wit ... an exhilarating read' Daily Telegraph `A book of quite extraordinary period atmosphere, the most diligent research and an appropriately cracking pace' Sunday Express `It's a wonderful tale, and Spencer tells it with journalistic flair' The Times `Riveting...`To Catch a King' is as gripping as any thriller' Sunday Telegraph `One of the joys of this book...is just how close the reader gets to the action. The day-by-day account of the fugitive's doings provide delicious details. Charles Spencer is the perfect person to pass the story onto a new generation. His pacey, readable prose coasts elegantly through the great tale. `To Catch a King' is a cracking read and those who come to it knowing little of the famous tale will find they have a treat in store' Literary Review `In this pacey slice of narrative history Charles Spencer...constructs this spare but atmospheric account of six weeks that changed the course of English history' Mail on Sunday
