The Cardinal's Angels

Another historical mystery set in the turbulent reign of Henry VIII from the ‘real living and breathing’ Gregory House, and once more featuring the roguish not quite a hero Red Ned Bedwell, a lad whose aspirations far exceeds the weight of his all too lean purse. As we’ve come to expect, its Ned’s pursuit of a full purse, that lands him in all manner of troubles. After the excellent reception from readers of historical mysteries to the previous Red Ned novels The Liberties of London and The Queen’s Oranges (especially in the UK) I’m am pleased to announce the release of the third story- The Cardinal’s Angels In this novel we step back a little in time to see how Red Ned Bedwell, apprentice lawyer and aspiring rogue, fell into the dubious company of Meg Back, her amiable brother Rob and their aptly named retainer Gruesome Roger. In a similar vein to the other stories, this latest offering blends humour, realistic portrayals of Tudor life and the deadly drama of the Royal Court as the affairs of the mighty spill over onto the commons of England.
