Summary: Treasonous Doings During King Edward I of England.
Review: Espionage is not a new game. It has been occurring for centuries. This book outlines the historical treason of a trusted citizen of King Edward I. The book is based on historical fact. In it we see Hugh Corbett and his squire Ranulf on the trail of a traitor. Someone very close to the king has been informing the French King Philip of everything that has been going on in court. It's a dangerous mission for Hugh, and we see him in France and Wales and back to France again while he chases this elusive prey. This series by P.C. Doherty is a very interesting one. Each book is based on well-known historical fact, and Doherty weaves his fictional characters seamlessly into the tale. I recommend this series highly for those interested in English history, and for those who like a good historical thriller.
