Synopsis

November 1587. Sir Walter Raleigh's expedition has foundered on Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina. One hundred and sixteen men, women and children vanish without trace. Were the Lost Colonists the victims of accident or of deliberate sabotage? This remarkable work of historical detection establishes beyond doubt that the tragedy of the Lost Colony did not begin in far away Roanoke, but within the walls of Westminster - in the inner circle of Queen Elizabeth's government. Lee Miller examines the evidence and tells an astonishing story.
