‘ … a wonderfully explosive adventure set in the turbulent
year of the gunpowder plot in Black Powder with impossibly
divided loyalties.’ JULIA GOLDING, AUTHOR OF THE
DIAMOND OF DRURY LANE
‘With its constant reversals and twists and turns, Tom’s story
is almost as complex as the pliot and counter-plot of the Gunpowder
Treason itself … The writing is lively and the pace never
flags.’ HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY
