OUT NOW... THE THIRD TAM EILDOR TIME-QUEST...
The Stuart Sapphire

Irish Times
‘Taut with tension and an air of authority that stems from Knight’s expertise in Scottish History’

In August 1811, George, Prince of Wales and the Prince Regent is horrified to find his mistress Sarah, Marchioness of Creeve dead in his bed, strangled by the string of pearls around her neck. The Prince realizes what a scandal could come out of a dead married woman (not to mention his younger brother’s mistress) so he has Tam Eildor, masquerading as a Scottish lawyer, investigate the murder.

Tam’s investigation is interrupted by an attempt on his life -and the Prince’s discovery that the Stuart Sapphire has gone missing.

Tam’s search for the killer and the thief puts his life in danger. Amidst a cast of royally quirky, entertaining, and psychologically complex characters, Tam needs to figure out his purpose in the Prince Regent’s service, find the killer thief, and get home before time does away with Tam’s memory of home, or someone does away with Tam.

The Dagger in the Crown

A haunting historical murder mystery, set in the court of Mary Queen of Scots.

It is 1566 and Mary Queen of Scots is in residence at Craigmillar Castle. But as rumours of treasonous plots abound, no one there can feel safe. Least of all Lord James Bothwell, who survives a murderous attack thanks to a lad by the name of Will Fellows.

But what is surprising is that Will snatched the diamond-encrusted dagger not from the hands of an ambitious lord, jealous of Bothwell's close relationship with Mary, but from a woman, who then disappears into the night.

Of the many ladies he knows, who would want him dead? His new bride Jean Gordon, only too aware of his infidelities? Anna Throndsen, the abandoned mother of his son William? Or perhaps one of the many lovers of Mary's dissolute husband Henry Darnley?

When Bothwell's mistress Janet Beaton hears of the attack, she puts her steward Tam Eildor on the assassin's trail. And he must act fast because the attempts on Bothwell's life are about to escalate...

But the enigmatic Tam is a mystery in himself, having arrived at Janet's castle months before with no memory of his name or previous life. All he does have are vague glimpses of the future - a future that looks dark for both Bothwell and his queen...

The Irish Times

'I was hooked - a tale based on the life of Mary Queen of Scots but had all the mystery and intrigue of any Kathy Rechs or PD James story"
Peterborough Evening Telegraph 'An enticing prospect, a well-researched atmospheric novel which recreates a key period in British history to perfection and tells a sinister and inexorable tale... Tam Eildor is a fascinating creation'
Sherlock Holmes Magazine

"an atmospheric novel which recreates a key period in British history to perfection and tells a sinister and inexorable tale"
Sarah Neville

"You can almost smell the miasma of old stone castles and feel the fear that one wrong step will end in the Tollbooth.
This is history that comes to full-blooded life ... the whole thing stays in the mind long afterwards ... a compelling read."
