Summary

January, 1554. Light-fingered Jack Blackjack knows he's not going to have a good day when he wakes with a sore head next to a dead body in a tavern's yard. But when he discovers what's in the dead man's purse, his day is set to get much worse. The purse explains why the mysterious man with the broad-brimmed hat wants to catch him. But so does the Lord Chancellor, as does the enigmatic Henry. In fact almost everyone seems to be after Jack Blackjack. If it weren't for the rebel army marching on London determined to remove Queen Mary from her throne, Jack could leave the city. Instead he must try to work out who killed the man in the yard, and why.

I've read a lot of fictional, and quite a few of Michael Jecks novels. Always well written, interesting and true to history.

A big fan of historical fiction I was after a whodunit. This wasn't really it. If you're after an adventure story of spies, you might enjoy this. I personally struggled to relate to the main character who came across as a blundering fool. To me, it also felt a bit like the all the characters were caricatures of themselves. The narrator did an excellent job of it though, even if this story wasn't what I was after.

Using the main character to narrate the story helped bring to life the atmosphere of London
at that time in history.

A good read

This novel is typical of the author. The story is complete and intriguing and the characters within a novel are interesting but not obvious. Throughout the novel I complete content you did you did not know how it was going to end
