Knowing she is innocent is easy …
proving it is hard
1560, Berwick-upon-Tweed, northern England
Following the unexpected death of her
father, a series of startling discoveries about the business she inherits
forces Isabella Gillhespy to re-evaluate everything she understands about her
past and expects from her future.
Facing financial ruin, let down by people
on whom she thought she could rely, and suspected of crimes that threaten her
freedom, Isabella struggles to prove her innocence.
But the stakes are even higher than she
realises. In a town where tension between England and her Scottish neighbours
is never far from the surface, it isn’t long before developments attract the
interest of the highest authority in the land, Sir William Cecil, and soon
Isabella is fighting, not just for her freedom, but her life. She must use her
wits and trust her own instincts to survive.
Lady of the Quay introduces an enticing
new heroine who refuses to be beaten, even as it becomes clear that her life
will never be the same again.
From the author of the award-winning ‘The
Woman in the Painting’.
