Metal of a Different Sort

Boredom leads to desperate times!

Jacob Bell and his partner Roberto Rosso were bored. Becuase of this, Lord Burghley, Chief Minister to Queen Elizabeth I persuaded them to become Queen's Commissioners and investigate a murder at a foundry making decorative ironwork. This apparently simple case turns into an intriguing and dangerous mystery as they both narrowly escape attempts to them.

The plot they uncover  threatens the life not only of the Tudor Queen Elizabeth I, but her ministers as well.

As the Queen's progress winds its way into East Anglia, staying at a new house nearly every night, the intrepid pair race to save them all from a fiendishly clever foe.
