As he digs deeper, he discovers a plot that threatens not only the kingdom but everything he holds dear.

In Prince, John Shakespeare has his most challenging investigation. It’s the spring of 1595, and plague stalks the land, along with massive political unrest. Bomb attacks on the Dutch immigrant community will have a seismic effect on John’s turbulent life.
There is a veritable cornucopia of elements to praise here, not least the vivid and idiomatic historical detail which is always integrated into the narrative, and never allowed to draw attention to itself in any conspicuous fashion. The plotting is as adroit as we have come to expect from Clements, and continues to surprise the reader at every turn. But perhaps the real pleasure of the book is the central character. John Shakespeare is one of the great historical sleuths, a multifaceted creation who is the perfect conduit to lead the reader through this baffling and dangerous period. --Barry Forshaw
