AUGUST 1977... A time when Elvis was king, Iceland had recently won the bitterly disputed 'Cod Wars' - and Hull City started a new football season that would ultimately end in relegation. For 12-year-old Tony, it meant going to East Yorkshire for two weeks of holiday and spending time with caring relatives who doted on him. All the ingredients were in place for a memorable vacation. After all, what could possibly go wrong in just 14 days?Critical praise for Philip Yorke's writing: "The kind of novel one could read over and over again.""A gem.""I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a warm heart and is very funny."

Saturday, the second day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1644, will be long remembered by those committed to ending the reign of Charles the First, after the tyrant king's forces were crushed on the bloody killing fields of Marston Moor. The calamitous defeat forced the increasingly desperate Royalists to intensify their attempts to bring about the immediate demise of their Parliamentarian enemies. This includes devising an audacious plan to assassinate the man they believe is key to the war's outcome. With the plotters ready to strike, Francis Hacker, one of Parliament's most loyal soldiers, becomes aware of the conspiracy. With little time to act, he does everything in his power to frustrate their murderous scheme. Alas, things start to unravel when brave Hacker finds himself pitted against his nemesis, a ruthless and cunning mercenary who will resort to anything to achieve a 'kill'.
