Description:

Thief. Informer. Double-dealer. Pimp. Will Shadwell may not be the most moral of men, but to Henry Gresham - gentleman, scholar, courtier, spy - he is invaluable. For in the violent days of the reign of King James I, a man must know his enemies to survive. Then Shadwell is brutally murdered. But before Gresham is able to establish the reason, he is summoned to London by Robert Cecil, the King's Chief Secretary, and asked to discover the truth about Sir Francis Bacon's private life. As Gresham continues Cecil's bidding, his enquiries into Shadwell's death are uncovering a plot so audacious it is scarcely believable. . .
