SYNOPSIS: “1600: a new century dawns, filled with portents. England is at war on two fronts, and unease stalks the land in the twilight of Elizabeth’s reign. The Virgin Queen is elderly, cantankerous and will leave no heir; a sore trial to her Council, especially her Secretary of State, Sir Robert Cecil, who is also the nation’s spymaster. Beset by troubles, Cecil calls in Marbeck, his best, if most undisciplined Intelligencer – to unmask a double agent who’s conniving with the Spanish. What starts as a low-key investigation, however, grows increasingly sinister, obliging Marbeck to leave England and enter dangerous territory.”
