The Tudor cutpurses are back in a festive mystery! For fans of S J Parris, Andrew Taylor, S W Perry and Andrew Swanston. Goodwill to all men ... including thieves... Christmas, 1536 Thief-turned-espionage-agent Gwynnie Wightham is stunned by the reappearance of her mother, Emlyn, who is supposed to be on the run.
Emlyn has returned to Greenwich Palace to enlist Gwynnie's help. She has discovered the location of a hoard of jewels taken from King Henry VIII fourteen years earlier.
But as she is injured and wanted by the authorities, she cannot recover them on her own.
She wants Gwynnie to join her once more as a shadow cutpurse, risking their necks for the chance at a life-changing reward.
Gwynnie is not convinced, but she knows that if her employer Elric Tombstone discovers Emlyn, she will be hanged for murder.
Can Gwynnie keep her mother from the noose? Will she be persuaded to return to her old ways? Or has she renounced the Shadow Cutpurses for good...? THE KING'S STOLEN JEWELS is the fourth book in the Shadow Cutpurses Tudor Thriller Series. It is a thrilling historical espionage adventure during King Henry VIII's reign in England with a feisty female lead.
