Oliver Wade Spy Thriller Series - Book 3
'An impressively convincing, well-researched and gripping glimpse into the snake-pit of spies, traitors and would-be regicides that sprang to life during the dangerous days between the death of Elizabeth I and the formal accession of James VI.' Peter Tonkin, author of A Verse to Murder
1605.
London.
Queen Elizabeth is dead.
James I, the son of Mary Queen of Scots, is the new King.
Mary’s Catholic followers, aggrieved at the King’s oppression of their right to practice their faith in peace, are planning a devastating act of terror and revolution. They intend to blow up the House of Lords during the State opening of Parliament by James himself - and subsequently install a Catholic Monarch.
Oliver Wade, actor and agent, is ordered to spy on the plotters and deliver a list of names to Robert Cecil, James’ head of Government.
Led by the charismatic Robert Catesby, the terrorists set into motion an audacious - and murderous - plan.
Guido ‘Guy’ Fawkes is the explosives expert charged with lighting the flame of rebellion.
Oliver’s mission to observe and gather information leads to a discovery that could decide the future course of James’ fragile Kingdom.
On the evening before the fateful day, the plot begins to unravel. No one can be trusted, or be guaranteed to survive.
Oliver must save his king, but at what cost?
Recommended for fans of Rory Clements, Paul Walker and Peter Tonkin.
Author David Field is a retired criminal lawyer. His background experience has led to the creation of contemporary crime investigator DCI Mike Saxby, in a series of novels published by Sharpe Books.
