The trick to historical fiction is getting the balance right between story and 
  background, so that neither shades out the other. In this, his first book (I 
  hope) of many, Rory Clements has judged it perfectly. The wider setting – 
  London in 1587 – is exciting: Mary, Queen of Scots is about to be executed, 
  the Armada is being fitted up in Spain, and the Jesuits – who continue to 
  send priests to sow discontent among the converted population of England – 
  are now sending assassins to kill Sir Francis Drake.
