The Desperate Remedy/The Conscience of the King

Más información sobre el libro

For hundreds of years historians have argued not only the truth of the Gunpowder Plot, but whether an obscure resident of Stratford-upon-Avon could have written the plays accredited to William Shakespeare. In these two highly acclaimed historical crime thrillers, Martin Stephen combines a top academic's grasp of history with a storyteller's ability to create huge suspense ? all this set against a vividly realised background of an England poised between the medieval and modern age. Stephen's books are not just top-class crime adventures, but provide an enthralling vision of history. Nominated for a Golden Dagger award, this is thriller writing at its best.
