Description

Luke, now the King's special agent is sent to one of the home counties to assess the suitability of specific gentlemen to represent the King throughout the county and especially in Parliament and on the magisterial bench. Luke confronts a fractured Royalist community-divided by family feuds, social class, generational disputes, and bitterness between those who went into exile with the King and those whom remained in England and suffered under Cromwell's military republic. Luke's assessment is sidetracked by an alleged massacre, a missing Cromwellian magistrate, ambitious, conniving, and predatory women, a vindictive husband, secret societies, the plague, closely kept secrets, man-eating animals, and a spate of attempted and successful murders.

Author Biography:

Geoff Quaife was born in Australia and after a tertiary education at the University of Melbourne, he taught Early Modern History at the University of New England in Armidale, NSW where he continues to reside. He taught for over thirty years this fascinating period which included the English Civil Wars the English Republic and the Cromwellian protectorate. On his retirement, he began to write historical novels focused on a fictional Cromwellian soldier, Luke Tremayne, a ruthless, bigoted dark hero. There are now fourteen novels in the series-The Luke Tremayne Adventures. He is married with three children, twelve grandchildren, and several great-grandchildren.
