THE FINAL DEADLY HUNT
When Thomas' master Sir Robert is charged by the Queen's Council to host an important guest - Grigori Stanic, ambassador of Muscovy - Thomas is tasked with entertaining his Excellency's party, who are all keen hawking men.
But no sooner have they arrived than Thomas is ordered to guard a priceless gift for Boris Godunov, the most important man at the Tsar's Court: a magnificent gold chain with jewelled pendant, only for it to be swifty stolen, with terrifying diplomatic consequences.
As the desperate hunt for the chain begins a body is uncovered - the victim having been brutally tortured - and a mysterious figure is seen on the Downs, sowing fear in the community. Is he the thief - or worse, is he responsible for the murder?
Thomas must use his sharp mind and primed skills to once again uncover the dark secrets lurking among Stanic's divided followers. But is Thomas truly ready to confront the most terrible adversary he has ever faced?
