A heady cocktail of fact and fiction, this is the rollicking sequel to A Very English Agent, hailed by PUBLISHERS WEEKLY as "A work of literary devilry... meticulous in its historical reference."Eddie
Bosham, the not entirely English agent, is in prison on a murder
charge. But he`s not worried. He`s innocent, and, anyway, he has hidden
proof of a ghastly scandal that could bring down the monarchy. We take
up his memoirs where he was left, marooned on the Galapagos Islands
with the young Charles Darwin. Rescued and set ashore in Acapulco, he
makes his way to Texas. Staunchly loyal to whichever side will win, he
spies for General Santa Ana at the Alamo and for Sam Houston at San
Jacinto. Westward ho, he stumbles across the secret that will launch
the California Gold Rush. Another brilliant historical romp by the
author of the hugely acclaimed The Last English King and the Booker-shortlisted Joseph.
