The Desperate Remedy

By: Martin Stephen

Narrated by: Michael Tudor-Barnes

In the dark days of King James I, a man must know his enemies to survive. To Henry Gresham, gentleman, scholar, courtier, and spy, William Shadwell is invaluable. A thief, informer, double-dealer, and pimp, he may not be the most moral of men, but he is one of Gresham's best sources. When Shadwell is murdered, Gresham's enquiries uncover a plot so audacious it is scarcely believable.© Martin Stephen; (P)Oakhill Publishing Ltd
