Summary

Whispers haunt the walls and treachery darkens the shadows in this captivating historical novel for listeners of C. J. Sansom, Andrew Taylor's Ashes of London and Kate Mosse.

Winter, 1607. A man is struck down in the grounds of Battle Abbey, Sussex. Before dawn breaks, he is dead.

Home to the Montagues, Battle has caught the paranoid eye of King James. The Catholic household is rumoured to shelter those loyal to the Pope, disguising them as servants within the abbey walls. And the last man sent to expose them was silenced before his report could reach London.

Daniel Pursglove is summoned to infiltrate Battle and find proof of treachery. He soon discovers that nearly everyone at the abbey has something to hide—for deeds far more dangerous than religious dissent. But one lone figure he senses only in the shadows, carefully concealed from the world. Could the notorious traitor Spero Pettingar finally be close at hand?

As more bodies are unearthed, Daniel determines to catch the culprit. But how do you unmask a killer when nobody is who they seem?

Critic reviews

"A beautifully crafted thriller: tense, edgy in all the right places.... This is another cracking step in Daniel Pursglove's dangerous tightrope walk through the lethal factions of the Stewart court. Breathtaking stuff, bone-chilling in all the right ways." (Manda Scott)

"Full of tension and danger...powerfully atmospheric." (Jennifer Saint)

"Maitland is a superlative historical novelist." (Rebecca Mascull)

Rather flat

Nicely written as ever but the story doesn't really go anywhere and feels unfinished.

An interesting insight in to this period of history.

I enjoyed listening to this second book to the Drowned City BUT I was so disappointed with the ending.
