While on a visit to London, American genealogist Jefferson Tayte's old
friend and colleague dies in his arms. Before long, Tayte and a
truth-seeking historian, Professor Jean Summer, find themselves
following a corpse-ridden trail that takes them to the Royal Society of
London, circa 1708.
What to make of the story of five men of science, colleagues of Isaac
Newton and Christopher Wren, who were mysteriously hanged for high
treason?
As they edge closer to the truth, Tayte and the professor find that
death is once again in season. A new killer, bent on restoring what he
sees as the true, royal bloodline, is on the loose...as is a
Machiavellian heir-hunter who senses that the latest round of murder,
kidnapping, and scandal represents an unmissable business opportunity.
The Last Queen of England is a racing thriller with a heart-stopping
conclusion. It is the third book in the Jefferson Tayte Genealogical
Mystery series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.
Revised edition: This edition of The Last Queen of England includes
editorial revisions.
