1- The Spy Who Sank the Armada
Sir Anthony Standen was Walsingham’s spy, who really did help sink the Spanish Armada.
The Spy who Sank the Armada is a fictionalised biography of Sir Anthony, answering the questions “why did he do that?” And “how did he do that?”
Penniless and a disappointment to his father, Anthony is flung into the Eighty Years’ War, spying for the queen who exiled him, against the queen who knighted him.
2- Fire and Earth
Priests are being burnt in their churches. Pope Paul hires two old enemies to track down the killer. Their journey leads them to Galileo and his students, but finding the killer leads them to another. They can’t deal with this one, but perhaps Anthony’s teenage children can.
3- The Suggested Assassin
How could Anthony and Maria possibly have known that taking the new French ambassador and his wife to his posting in Tunis, aboard their new yacht, would lead to this. The set of circumstances that would bring them here, sitting sipping wine and watching a man being pulled apart by four horses in the square below, it was beyond belief. But here they were, and the man responsible was sitting only a few yards away. They would have to deal with him, but it might have to wait.
4- Called to Account
It is 1612. Maria and Antonio set off to the Frankfurt fair to find a buyer for their wine, and expand their vineyard. They find a buyer, and Maria finds an admirer. When they visit the man preparing their bill of exchange, he and his wife have been strangled. The victims are Jewish, so the mayor isn’t interested. They hunt for the killer, as a pogrom explodes. Maria and Manuel fall in love. Manuel is hiding something. Which will prevail, love or hate?
There are murders, forensic science, sword fights, romance, witch trials and a pogrom. It all starts with an account book and climate change.
