The Virgin Queen is dying. She has yet to nominate an heir. The crown looks set to fall to James of Scotland. But it is far from inevitable. Gowrie, a sinister Scottish traitor, has arrived in England. On him is a document containing a shocking secret that will compromise King James. Languishing in prison, artful thief Ned Savage is freed by his patron, the queen's principal secretary, Sir Robert Cecil. His mission is to find the document before it can be made public. If he succeeds, his life will be spared. But he is not alone in seeking Gowrie.On his trail are a ruthless gang of conspirators. The Red Cross Plot aims to prevent any foreigner from taking the English throne. And the Knights of the Red Cross will kill to secure the document. In a journey that will take him from London to Derbyshire and Scotland, Savage must foil the Red Cross Plot, protect King James's darkest secret, and keep himself safe from execution. And he must do it all before the curtain falls on Elizabeth's reign.
