About this item
In this third book of the Simon & Elizabeth Mysteries, Elizabeth Tudor is accused of treason and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Most, including Elizabeth herself and her old friend Simon Maldon, believe she will never leave the place alive. Loyal to a fault, Simon manages to get in to see his "Highness," once a princess but now demoted to simply Lady Elizabeth. After one visit, Simon meets another old friend, Peto the Pope. Accused of murder, Peto swears he is innocent. Simon can't resist investigating to learn what really happened. At the same time, Simon's wife Hannah takes in a frightened pregnant girl who refuses to identify herself. Hannah is captivated when her guest has a baby girl. Childless herself, Hannah is determined to help this mother and child get a start in life.
About the Author
Peg Herring reads, writes, and loves mysteries. She is the author of several stand-alones and three series: the Simon & Elizabeth Mysteries (historical) , the Dead Detective Mysteries (mildly paranormal) , and the Loser Mysteries (contemporary suspense) .
Peg loves travel, both in the States and abroad. Here's what she has learned so far.
Travel with a camper: fun but nerve-wracking on the hilly bits. And squirrels don't know that crawling inside the refrigerator mechanism is committing seppuku.
Travel by car: if you are so lost that you pass through the same small town three times in one day, give it up and spend the night there. Things will go better in the morning.
Travel in Wales: there probably isn't a road named ARRRRGGGGH!! But there should be.
Travel in England: roundabouts can be fun--if you live past the first one.
Travel in Bahrain: when the sign says "Camel Crossing," it means it.
Travel in Dubai: do not panic when your dhow is almost rammed by a much larger boat. You know how to swim, and it's not that far to shore.
Travel in Michigan: despite what you've heard, there are only two seasons here--the winter season and the construction season. To navigate safely, they both require experience, a cool head, and lots of patience.
Despite the trials, we love to travel to new places, meet new people, and see things we haven't seen before.
