Rebellion's Message (A Jack Blackjack Mystery)

Introducing Elizabethan cutpurse and adventurer Jack Blackjack in the first of a brand-new historical mystery series

January, 1554. Light-fingered Jack Blackjack knows heâ€™s not going to have a good day when he wakes with a sore head next to a dead body in a tavernâ€™s yard. That would be bad enough â€“ but when he discovers whatâ€™s in the dead manâ€™s purse, the one heâ€™d stolen, his day is set to get much worse. The purse explains why the mysterious man with the broad-brimmed hat wants to catch him. But so does the Lord Chancellor, as does the enigmatic Henry. In fact, almost everyone seems to be after Jack Blackjack.

If it werenâ€™t for the rebel army marching on London determined to remove Queen Mary from her throne and install Lady Jane Grey in her place, Jack could leave the city â€“ but with the bridge blocked and every gate manned, thereâ€™s no escape.

Instead he must try to work out who killed the man in the yard, and why. But it wonâ€™t be easy as the rebel army comes ever closer and the death toll mounts â€¦
