Prince

Spring 1593. England is a powder keg of rumour and fear.

Into this turmoil a small cart clatters through the streets of London, carrying a deadly load. It is the first in a wave of horrific bombing attacks on the Dutch immigrant community that will change John Shakespeare's life for ever.

Driven on by cold rage, his investigations will take him from royal horseraces to opulent brothel chambers, from the theatrical underworld of Marlowe and Kyd to pain-wracked torture cells , and from the elegant offices of master tactician Robert Cecil to the splintering timbers of an explosive encounter at sea.

Book 3 in the John Shakespeare series.
