    About this series

    A Knight and a Spy 1414
    "Beware of secrets and daggers"
    These words of warning come back to haunt Sir James de Grispere.
    Sir James is thrust into a world of betrayal both in the English court and in France. Alliances are made and treaties are broken, all in the name of ambition. With no one to trust, he must navigate the corridors of power within the Court of Aragon. As military might builds for the greatest battle to conquer France, the navy is imperilled, as is King Henry V as plots against him fester.
    All hangs on the Council of Constance where treachery abounds, and Sir James must protect the English Embassy at all costs. Even with his own life.

      January 1410, and King Henry IV is brought down by an unknown illness. Despite his ten year reign, the kingdom is far from secure. He is at odds with his son Prince Hal, who is demanding a new Royal Council; Owen ap Glyndower threatens his Welsh border and the Scots are in revolt again, seeking secret alliances with France. In France, Burgundy and King Charles VI are planning to take back Calais and reignite the Hundred Years' War. England is in peril, beset by enemies on all sides and within. The court is a swirl of rumours and treachery, with the powerful seeking the ultimate prize: the English crown. Power is controlled by unlikely forces, the most important of which is led by Sir Richard Whittington – merchant, former Lord Mayor of London, financier, adviser to the Crown and spymaster for the King. Realising the peril of the kingdom, he needs someone who can move inconspicuously at home and abroad. Someone skilled yet unobtrusive. Jamie de Grispere – squire in training, son of a merchant and known to Whittington – is tasked to do his bidding and spy for the crown. Jamie holds the future of the realm in his hands, but the road on which he travels is a perilous one, taking him from the depths of France to Wales and the Scottish borders. Joining forces with two comrades, he seeks to aid the crown and fight for Sir Richard's plans for the safety of the realm. Treachery, the Hundred Years' War, revolts, battles, the wool trade, piracy and pivotal events: medieval history is brought to life in this story of fifteenth century England and the fight for the crown. A Knight and a Spy: 1410 is the first book in a new series by Simon Fairfax, author of the Deal Series

    As a lover of crime thrillers and mystery, I turned what is seen by others as a dull 9 – 5 job into something that is exciting, as close to real life as possible, with Rupert Brett, my international man of mystery whose day job is that of a Chartered Surveyor. Rupert is an ordinary man thrown into extraordinary circumstances who uses his wit, guile and training to survive. Each book is written from my own experiences, as close to the truth as possible, set against world events that really happened. I go out and experience all the weapons, visit the places Rupert travels to, speak to the technical experts and ensure that it as realistic, as possible allowing you to delve deep in to the mystery, losing yourself in it for a few hours.
