Blood-Red Goblet
Third Adventure of the Glassmaker Series
This new thrilling adventure proves to be the most perilous that Jacob Bell has undertaken as a secret agent for Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I's spy-master. Jacob is recruited by Henri, Duke of Guise, as part of a convoluted plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth, free his cousin, Mary Stuart and install her on the throne of England, forming a Catholic Anglo-French alliance that will rule Europe.
Jacob's old enemy, Jed Sutton, becomes involved and when Mary Stuart is arrested and tried for high treason, he kidnaps Jacob's wife, Maria and eldest son, Rico, forcing Jacob to help him to rescue the Scottish Queen. This seemingly impossible task and a desperate gamble, taken to save his family, leads to a violent struggle, as the book reaches its exciting climax.
“a fascinating, original historical context...the insight into the world of glassmaking is interesting...the backdrop of the story’s setting – Venice and London – and the times will also be a key part of its appeal to readers”
Martyn Bedford, Award winning author of Houdini Girl.
