In the ninth installment of Karen Harpers highly respected Elizabeth I mystery series, Elizabeth and her court depart London for a summer journey. By royal command, the young Francis Drake joins the entourage. But someones idea of sport is shooting crossbows and longbows at the queen and her captain. As bodies and clues pile up, the mystery and dangers deepen like the surrounding forests. Both Drake and the queen have cousins they cannot trust who may want them dead.
