Soldiers of the King

An experienced gamekeeper is killed by the Archbishop of Canterbury while hunting with King James. Determined to be an accident, Captain of Royal Cuirassiers, Robert Curtis, is bothered by a simple question: Why was an experienced gamekeeper in the wrong place? Robert uncovers new evidence, and an addition question: Was King James the real target?

Robert’s search for the mysterious gamekeeper leads him into the company of England’s secret Catholics and a world of priest holes, safehouses, persecution. Robert is torn between his investigation and struggling to fulfill his Anglican priestly duties.

Will Robert find and capture the plotters before King James visits for a stag hunt and review of his company of Royal Cuirassiers? Or has Robert’s invitation put His Majesty’s life in danger again?

Soldiers of the King is the second book of the Robert Curtis Mysteries, a series exploring politics, religion, and stories of faith, mercy, justice, and love.
