About the book
Jack Blackjack's quest for an executioner's son entangles him in a devilish web of plots in this exciting Tudor thriller.London. May, 1556. Hal Westmecott, a notorious executioner in the city, believes that Jack Blackjack is indebted to him - and now he's demanding repayment. Hal tasks Jack with locating his missing son, a request that Jack views as impossible but cannot refuse.
As Jack's investigation leads him into the clutches of a cruel nobleman, a resentful brother seeking vengeance for a deceased priest, and ultimately to a grim scene of violence in a squalid inn, he realizes he is merely a pawn in a complex game orchestrated by the elite of England. The lines between friend and foe blur as Jack fights to survive.
A fast-paced mystery set in the Tudor era, against the backdrop of Bloody Mary's brutal rule.
