Tudor Spy
James of Ecclestone thought that when Perkin Warbeck was executed his days as a spy were over. He was wrong. Kings do not forget men who are useful to them and James was a master of his craft. Wanting nothing more than a life of peace with a new family James is thrown into the maelstrom of politics, intrigue and knives in the night.

About the author
Griff Hosker
305 books426 followersI was born in 1950 in Lancashire and attended a boy’s grammar school. After qualifying as an English and Drama teacher in 1972, I worked in the North East of England for the next 35 years. During that time I did write, mainly plays, pantos and musicals for the students at the three schools in which I worked.
When I stopped teaching I set up my own consultancy firm and worked as an adviser in schools and colleges in the North East of England. The new Conservative Government ended that avenue of work and in 2010 I found that I had time on my hands; having started work at the age of 15 I found the lack of work not to my liking and used the time to research the Roman invasion of Britain and begin to create a novel. The result was The Sword of Cartimandua.
My decision to begin writing was one of the best I have ever taken.

A fine read.
Griff Hosker is one of the few authors whose books I buy and don't begrudge the expense. If course it would be nice, were he to have more titles in Kindle Unlimited! If I had to describe Mr Yorker I'd have to say that he's a cross of Bernard Cornwell, whom, living here on Cape Cod, I've met, and not been impressed by - though he is a really gifted writer - and WEB Griffin. He crafts great tales and populates them with people you care about.

Not as good as the first, in content or reading but if you enjoyed that one, you might as well continue into this.
