In the latest Elizabethan mystery by the author of "Murder at Whitehall," amateur sleuth Kate Haywood investigates deadly machinations unfolding behind the scenes in the magnificent French court.
1561. Queen Elizabeth s throne is threatened as Mary Queen of Scots pushed in every direction by opposing and powerful forces declares herself the rightful Queen of England. To discover her rival s next unpredictable move, Elizabeth dispatches a party of trustworthy intimates to Mary s court at Fontainebleau. Chief among them is Kate Haywood, who finds that the glittering balls and genial banquets conceal a web of poisonous ambition that soon turns deadly.
When a beautiful and disruptively flirtatious member of the visiting party is murdered, Kate suspects that the man who stands accused has been set up to discredit Elizabeth. She vows to find the real killer, but the French court is a labyrinth unlike any she has ever navigated before and at every turn there are more traps set to spring."
