Thieves
In 1592, Sir Robert Carey, newly appointed Deputy Warden of the West March, faces the murder of a local lad, the possible betrayal of a disappointed rival, the ire of the lady’s husband, and the question of the horses—the hundreds of horses being stolen from all over the neighbourhood.

Kidnappers
Sir Robert Carey is in trouble again. The rowdy Grahams plan to kidnap his true love, the married Elizabeth, as she journeys home to her husband. While Sir Robert storms out to stop them, someone murders the man he has just sacked from his post of paymaster to the Carlisle garrison…

Scots
One black night in 1592, Sir Robert Carey is on night patrol along the unsettled border anchored by the garrison in Carlisle. It’s a disaster. First, there’s the fugitive he has to hand over to the warring Scots. Next come Wee Colin Elliot’s sheep stealers. And then a gun explodes.

Catholics
Accompanied by the shrewd Sergeant George Dodd, Sir Robert Carey travels to London, where he tackles Catholics, treachery, and the spies George Greene and Christopher Marlowe. Into the middle of it all stumbles a love-sick, snivelling hanger-on named Will Shakespeare.

Vengeance
Sir Robert Carey urgently needs to get back to Carlisle; the raiding season is about to begin. But a badly decomposed corpse has washed up from the Thames on Her Majesty’s privy steps, and Sergeant Dodd has decided that he will not go north until he has taken revenge against the dangerous Thomas Heneage.
