Summary:"A spellbinding thriller set in the Jacobean Court of 1615 surrounding a famed couple imprisoned on suspicion of murder--but was it Lord Robert or Lady Frances who committed the crime?" --amazon.com.
Autumn, 1615. Scandal rocks the Jacobean court when Robert and Frances Carr are imprisoned on suspicion of murder. Frances-- young, captivating, and from a notorious family-- was rescued from an abusive marriage by Robert, and is determined to make a new life for herself. Robert-- one of the richest and most famous men in the kingdom-- has risen from nothing to become one of the country' most powerful men, and has made enemies along the way. The king suspects them both, though it is his secret at stake. Now a man is dead. And someone must pay with their life. -- adapted from jacket
