The Saracen's Mark

From the CWA Historical Dagger Award-nominated author of The Angel''s Mark in 2019 and The Serpent''s Mark in 2020

England, 1593: Five years on from the Armada and Elizabeth''s kingdom seems secure. But there is always a plot afoot...

Robert Cecil, the Queen''s spymaster, needs Nicholas Shelby - reluctant spy and maverick physician - to embark on an undercover mission once again. One that he can''t refuse, if he wants to keep Bianca Merton safe.

Crossing the seas to Marrakesh in search of a missing informer, Nicholas hunts the dingy back alleys and dazzling palaces for the truth. But his search reveals a deadly conspiracy, one far more difficult to survive than he''d ever imagined.

And back in London the plague has returned, ravaging the streets and threatening everything he holds most dear...
