The Man from Morocco (Tom Walsingham Mysteries Book 7)

Will a new alliance break before it’s even begun…?

London, 1589

England’s resounding defeat of the Spanish Armada has impressed Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, ruler of Morocco, into seeking an alliance against Spain.

An envoy from Fez is travelling to London, carrying offers of military support that Queen Elizabeth’s spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, is keen to see put to good use.

Sir Francis’s kinsman, Tom Walsingham, is sent to meet the ambassador and make sure that no Spanish spies have infiltrated the party.

But Tom arrives to a scene of disaster. The ship was wrecked and the survivors are in disarray.

And to make matters worse, that night one of the Moroccan servants dies – apparently while trying to run with stolen valuables.

As Tom tries to navigate the needs of his Muslim charges and the difficulties of travelling in bad weather, he becomes increasingly worried that a spy is amongst them.

And when another man is killed, it becomes clear all is not what it seems…
