Synopsis

Simon Maldon is sent by Queen Elizabeth to form an honest assessment of the Scottish queen's character. With Simon gone, his son Henry, wife Hannah, and old friend Calkin delve into the murder of Simon's brother-in-law, Will Clark. Determined to hide his crimes, the killer is willing -- even eager-- to murder again.
Simon faces his own trials when Scottish outlaws capture his party. In order to thwart their leader's grandiose schemes, Simon must escape and make his way to Edinburgh. Will the rough men of the Marches help or leave the Englishman to make his way as best he can?

About this title

Review

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR HERRING'S SIMON & ELIZABETH MYSTERIES:
"Simon Maldon, an apothecary's apprentice, earned the trust of the future Elizabeth I in Herring's first mystery, Her Highness' First Murder . . . Herring does a nice job of making Elizabeth a plausible partner in detection and the life-and-death intrigues of the period fresh and compelling."

-- Publishers Weekly on Poison, Your Grace · Book 2
"The third title in Herring's excellent historical series (after Poison, Your Grace) captivates with its smooth prose, on-the-ground details, and use of clever and unexpected characters."

-- Library Journal on The Lady Flirts with Death · Book 3
