The Queen's Man (John Shakespeare #6) by Rory Clements

Release Date: February 25th, 2014

Description: 18+

England is a viper's nest of conspiracy. It is 1852, and the conflict between Protestants and Catholics threatens to tear the country in two. While Queen Elizabeth I holds the reins of power, there are those whose loyalty lies with her imprisoned cousin--Mary, Queen of Scots. 

On his first major mission for Sir Francis Walsingham, the young John Shakespeare is ordered to untangle a conspiracy to free the Stuart queen from Sheffield Castle. All too soon, he realizes that the tentacles of the plot reach deep into his native Warwickshire and threaten his own friends and family. His duty lies with Elizabeth … but how far will he go to protect those he loves? 

Once again Rory Clements had me page turning into the early hours of the morning with this cracking tale of John Shakespeare intelligencer for Sir Francis Walsingham. -

Rory Clement's John Shakespeare series just keeps getting better and better. This time a couple of conspiracies to free or murder the incarcerated Mary Queen of Scots. I can't think of any better historical fiction page turners in recent years. Highly recommended. - PeterB (Goodreads)
