The seventeenth century was a time ripe with murder, anarchy, war, and political and religious intrigue, of which the Gunpowder Plot is only one example. This unputdownable new anthology from Mike Ashley presents 25 whodunits set in those turbulent times—also the age of the Witchfinder General, ‘revenge’ tragedies, and the colonization of America. Stories of murder and mayhem centre on the true role of Guy Fawkes, the English Civil War and the fate of Charles I, plus the lost colony of Roanoke and the tale of Pocahontas. The Mammoth Book of Jacobean Whodunits is a fastpaced anthology about a thrilling time in British history.INTRODUCTION: GUNPOWDER, TREASON AND PLOT Mike AshleyTHE KING’S FIRST ACHIEVEMENT Fiona BuckleyTHE DUKE OF YORK P.
