'A fast paced, intrigue-laden romp through Elizabeth’s twilight years. Written with wit, pathos, and style.' Steven Veerapen, author of The Queen’s Spies 1599. After years of arrogance, disobedience and failure, the Earl of Essex bursts into Queen Elizabeth’s private chambers at Nonsuch Palace, confronting her before she has even had time to dress. This is something the Queen can never forgive. Essex’s enemies, led by Secretary of State Robert Cecil, begin to plan his final downfall.

The assignment is made doubly dangerous because Poley is known to the Earl’s spy-network, headed by the Bacon brothers - the bed-ridden Anthony and the ambitious Francis, newly-appointed
