Description
In the tumultuous aftermath of the English Civil War, two men, General Edward Whalley and Colonel William Goffe, flee to the New World, branded as regicides for their role in the execution of King Charles I. Ten years later, with the monarchy restored, they are hunted by the relentless Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee, who is determined to bring them to justice. This gripping historical thriller plunges readers into a desperate chase across the untamed landscapes of seventeenth-century New England, exploring themes of vengeance, faith, and the enduring consequences of political upheaval. Robert Harris masterfully crafts an epic narrative of pursuit and survival against the backdrop of a nation grappling with its past.
