'Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November...'
Behind the famous rhyme lies a murderous conspiracy that goes far beyond Guy Fawkes and his ill-fated Gunpowder Plot.
On a cold November night in 1605, Guido Fawkes is discovered with thirty-six kegs of gunpowder beneath the Palace of Westminster. His plan: to blow to pieces the King, royal family and entire Protestant ruling class. But there is a wider plot, one that goes far beyond a single explosion... one that calls for an uprising and the kidnap of nine year-old Princess Elizabeth with the aim of placing her on her father's throne.
In a desperate race against time, spy Christian Hardy must uncover a web of deceit that runs from the cock-fighting pits of Shoe Lane, to the tunnels beneath a bear-baiting arena in Southwark, and from the bad lands of Clerkenwell to a brutal firefight in The Globe theatre. But of the forces ranged against Hardy, all pale beside the renegade Spanish agent codenamed Realm...
In this pulse-racing and dramatic new thriller, Sunday Times bestselling author James Jackson sheds new light on one of the most dramatic events in British history.
