The Best of Men

by Claire Letemendia
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
A fast-paced, rousing ride through treason, prophecy, and passion in 17th-century England: a must for lovers of historical novels that sweep from the bedroom to the battlefield and the royal court. Includes an excerpt from the second thrilling Laurence Beaumont novel, The Licence of War.
 It is 1642, and Laurence Beaumont has returned to England after six years in the European Wars; he has seen and done things he can't bear to remember, and he no longer has faith in God, or much in humankind itself.
 
When clashes between King Charles I and his mutinous Parliament throw England into a civil war, Beaumont is reluctantly drawn back into a world of intrigue when he discovers coded letters outlining a plot to assassinate the king. Soon powerful conspirators are in hot pursuit, and Laurence must find proof of their identities before they overtake him. The seductive Isabella Savage wants to help, but she may only lead him deeper into the conspiracy.
Intricately plotted, bawdy, and full of vivid character and detail, The Best of Men is thoroughly satisfying, and only the beginning of the adventures of Laurence Beaumont.
