Returning from Battle Abbey , Daniel Pursglove has been told to stay in London. However his interest in his childhood foe Fairfax has brought him to East Yorkshire. Gaining more questions than answers and escaping a murder accusation, Pursglove travels to Bristol to find the Yena. Again his enemies are ahead of him and he barely escapes with his life. Now convinced there is another plot to kill King James, Daniel does not know who to trust. This is the third outing for Daniel Pursglove, Maitland's Jacobean anti-hero. As ever the themes of sorcery and evil are written throughout and the weather and darkness are omnipresent. The plot is confusingly twisty but very well constructed and the ending sets up the next in the series. I love the setting and the plotting. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

'What a wonderful storyteller Maitland is' THE TIMES DANIEL PURSGLOVE BOOK THREE From the stark Yorkshire landscape to the dark underbelly of Jacobean London, Daniel Pursglove's new mission sees him fall prey to a ruthless copycat killer... London, 1607. As dawn breaks, Daniel Pursglove rides north, away from the watchful eye of the King and his spies. He returns, disguised, to his childhood home in Yorkshire - with his own score to settle. The locals have little reason to trust a prying stranger, and those who remember Daniel do so with contempt. When a body is found with rope burns about the neck, Daniel falls under suspicion. On the run, across the country, he is pursued by a ruthless killer whose victims all share the same gallows mark. Are these the crimes of someone with a cruel personal vendetta - or has Daniel become embroiled in a bigger, and far more sinister, conspiracy? A new river of treason is rising, flowing from the fields of Yorkshire right to the heart of the King's court . . .

As I have come to expect from this excellent series it is beautifully written and researched, with a clever mix of fictional and real characters. Atmospheric clever descriptive and totally engaging from first to last page, with a real feel for time and place. Speaking of which this is the third book in this series, and I assume judging by the cliffhanger ending a new book is to follow, hopefully very soon.
Completely recommended. ( )
