LUTHER'S AMBASSADORS by
Jay Margrave
In this, the second of the Priedeux mysteries, we
rediscover Tom Priedeux, now serving the young Anne
Boleyn. However, Tom is more than just a servant;
at different times, he is her mentor, her confidante
and sometimes her critic. Anne has one overriding
ambition: to reform the Catholic Church. The only
way she can achieve her aim is to marry a powerful
man and use her wiles to influence him to make the
changes she wants. This man, of course, is Henry VIII.
Priedeux helps her in this aim and when her schemes
are going awry he is there to fight her battles; when
her life is threatened, he saves her; when she needs
a ally, he is there at her side. But for how long
can he survive the political battles of the Court
without himself becoming a target for powerful men?
'This is a good book, a story well told ... I love
the subplot outlining Priedeux's background ...' (Rebecca
Tope, Membership Secretary of the Crime Writers' Association)
