Description
In 1536, a mysterious assassination shook Tudor London. Robert Packington, a prominent mercer, was gunned down as he crossed Cheapside on his way to early morning mass. This was the first handgun killing in the capital's history, and the case remains unsolved. Thomas Treviot, a young goldsmith with connections to the victim, launches an investigation into Packington's death. As he searches for answers, Thomas uncovers a dark conspiracy that takes him from the streets of merchant London to the court of King Henry VIII. But as he delves deeper, he realizes that nothing is as it seems, and claiming justice for his friend becomes increasingly impossible. A gripping historical mystery, The First Horseman brings Tudor London to life with its vivid portrayal of a corrupt world where power and deceit reign supreme.
