(2015)(The fourth book in the Elizabethan Mystery series)
A novel by Amanda Carmack
The acclaimed author of Murder in the Queen's Garden returns to Tudor England with amateur sleuth Kate Haywood embroiled in court intrigue and a devastating scandal.

Despite evenings of banquets and dancing, the European delegates attending Her Majesty's holiday festivities are less interested in peace on earth than they are in fostering mistrust. Kate, the queen's personal musician, hopes she can keep the royal guests entertained.
But then Queen Elizabeth receives a most unwanted gift - an anonymous letter that threatens to reveal untoward advances from her beloved Queen Catherine's last husband, Thomas Seymour. Tasked with finding the extortionist, Kate has barely begun investigating when one of Spain's visiting lords is found murdered. With two mysteries to unravel and an unsettling number of suspects to consider, Kate finds herself caught between an unscrupulous blackmailer and a cold-blooded killer....
