The Hooded Hawke (Elizabeth I Mysteries)

by Karen Harper

The Hooded Hawke (Elizabeth I Mysteries) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

God save the Queen!

 

This summer, Queen Elizabeth I is in no mood for games. She and her court were expecting to spend the warmer months lounging in great manor houses, feasting in the fields, tempting forbidden romance, and perhaps engaging in sport. But someone in the Queen's entourage isn't playing by the rules...and soon Elizabeth is dodging crossbows, longbows, and--worst of all--the threats of her greatest rival, Mary Queen of Scots. As bodies and clues pile up, the mystery and dangers deepen like the surrounding forests. Now Elizabeth must fearlessly confront her foes before she loses her crown--or her life.

 

 "Harper's facility with historical figures is extraordinary."

--Los Angeles Times

 

"Fast-paced, suspenseful...readers will find themselves spellbound by the characters, plotting and plausible period detail."--Publishers Weekly

 

"Harper is to be commended...for making the factions of Elizabeth's court clearer than many history books have done."--Chicago Tribune

Synopsis:

The ninth installment of this highly respected historical mystery series finds Elizabeth and the young Francis Drake under attack by crossbows and longbows during a summer journey. Martins Press.
