Reseña del editor
It is 1679 and England is awash with suspicion. Everywhere - or so it is feared - Catholic agents are plotting to overthrow the king. Now Samuel Pepys, Secretary of the Admiralty, finds himself in a position few people then or now would have expected - charged with treason. Imprisoned in the Tower of London and abandoned by the embattled king, Pepys sets to work investigating his mysterious accuser, Colonel John Scott, and uncovers a life riddled with ambition, forgery, treason and, ultimately, murder. Using rare access to Pepys' own account of the affair, James Long and Ben Long brilliantly evoke a turbulent period in England's history.
Contraportada
Shortlisted for the 2008 Longman History Today Book of the Year Prize ‘An exciting, informative, at times amusing and always readable tale from one of the darkest episodes in English history.’ Stella Rimington, The Times It is 1679 and England is awash with suspicion. Everywhere – or so it is feared – Catholic agents are plotting to overthrow the king. And Samuel Pepys, Secretary of the Admiralty, finds himself charged with treason. Imprisoned in the Tower of London and abandoned by the embattled king, Pepys sets to work investigating his mysterious accuser, Colonel John Scott, and uncovers a life riddled with ambition, forgery, treason and murder. Using rare access to Pepys’s own account of the affair, James Long and Ben Long brilliantly evoke a turbulent period in England’s history – and tell the forgotten story of the two most dangerous years in the life of the legendary diarist. ‘Fascinating . . . The Longs have an eye for the telling detail which is worthy of the great diarist himself.’ Hugh Massingberd, Mail on Sunday ‘A work to be enjoyed both as a powerful detective story, and as a fascinating entrée into the paranoid-populist world of politics in late seventeenth-century England.’ Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph ‘The book reads like the best crime novel, yet it is based on brand new research.’ Leo Hollis, Scotland on Sunday
