About the book
Jack Blackjack: A Lively Tudor Mystery
In the year 1555, in the bustling city of London, a dangerous game unfolds when Jack Blackjack decides to go against the orders of his spymaster. This former cutpurse turned paid assassin finds himself in treacherous waters as he defies the commands given to him.
The political landscape is tense as Queen Mary has just been wedded to Philip II of Spain, causing rifts between those loyal to the Catholic queen and those who favor her half-sister, Lady Elizabeth.
Despite the kingdom's turmoil, Jack's immediate concern is a moral dilemma - should he follow through with his assignment to kill a man, or should he risk everything to save him? His defiance sets off a chain of events that puts him in grave danger, as even the most carefully laid out plans can go astray.
As Jack finds himself entangled in the complex web of Tudor politics, facing new foes at every turn, he realizes that his life is on the line. Will he be able to navigate the dangerous waters of court intrigue and survive long enough to correct his mistake?
This gripping Tudor mystery will captivate readers who enjoy the works of S J PARRIS and RORY CLEMENTS.
