About
The first in the thrilling Marbeck mystery series by John Pilkington! Perfect for fans for S. J. Parris and Andrew Taylor
London, 1600
As a new century dawns, and the war with Spain drags on, Spymaster Sir Robert Cecil calls in Martin Marbeck-his best, if most undisciplined agent-to unmask a double agent who is feeding secrets to the enemy.
Marbeck has been under a cloud since a failed mission in Flanders, and is eager to prove himself once more. But the traitor-codename Mulberry-proves elusive.
Soon Marbeck must leave England for France and venture into the lion's den, following a tortuous path that winds back to London. With the help of his fellow agent, the unruly Joseph Gifford, a trap is laid to ensnare Mulberry-with deadly and unforeseen results.
Can Marbeck uncover the true identity of the traitor quickly before rumours of the young King Philip III forming a new Armada prove themselves to be true?
