Traitor’s Field

Traitor’s Field

Traitor’s Field

14th April 2015 by Robert Wilton

1648; Britain is at war with itself.

The Royalists are defeated but Parliament is in turmoil, its power weakened by internal discord. Royalism’s last hope is Sir Mortimer Shay, a ruthless veteran of decades of intrigue who must rebuild a credible threat to Cromwell’s rule, whatever the cost.

John Thurloe is a young official in Cromwell’s service. Confronted by the extent of the Royalists’ secret intelligence network, he will have to fight the true power reaching into every corner of society: the Comptrollerate-General for Scrutiny and Survey.

‘a panache unmatched in modern writing. It’s exhilarating, passionate, inspiring and literate’
‘its characters will haunt you’
‘Robert Wilton simply stunned the genre last year with Emperors Gold… and has surpassed even that’
