Queen's Ransom (Mystery at Queen Elizabeth I's Court)

Kirkus Reviews hails Ursula Blanchard "the essence of iron cloaked in velvet -- a heroine to reckon with". In her latest adventure, the sharp-witted Lady of the Presence Chamber is called upon by Queen Elizabeth I to personally deliver a secret letter to Catherine de Medicis, which offers the Queen's mediation to a crisis between France and England. But as it becomes clear that someone seeks to thwart her mission, Ursula realizes she can trust no one but herself, and that only she can uncover the truth hidden in the shadows of treason, greed, and desire that darken her way.Buckley, Fiona is the author of 'Queen's Ransom (Mystery at Queen Elizabeth I's Court)' with ISBN 9780606208703 and ISBN 0606208704.
