We are excited to be able to bring you another fantastic author event in the bookshop. Million copy bestselling historical fiction author S.J. Parris will be joining us to talk about Traitor’s Legacy, the first book of an incredible new historical series. England, 1598. Queen Elizabeth’s successor remains unnamed. The country teeters on a knife edge. ‘Successful historical thrillers need three elements: a killer plot that weaves seamlessly into the history; an engaging protagonist; and an atmospheric sense of place. Parris nails all three.’ The Times
When a young heiress is found murdered at the theatre, the Queen’s spymaster Robert Cecil calls upon former agent Sophia de Wolfe to investigate.
A cryptic note found on the dead girl’s body connects to Sophia’s previous life as a spy, and her quest soon takes her into dangerous waters. Powerful enemies emerge, among them the Earl of Essex: the Queen’s favourite courtier and a man of ruthless ambition.
This is a murder that reaches directly into the heart of the court. And Sophia is concealing a deep-buried secret of her own. She must uncover the truth before her past threatens to destroy her.
