The
Jackdaw

The 'Quest for a Queen' is an exciting trilogy about three crucial times in the life of Mary, Queen of Scots. Each story is told by imaginary young people I slip into the actual historical facts of the setting. The Royal Courts and the sleazy back streets of France, Scotland and England are as real as I could make them.

3. THE JACKDAW {London, l586}

Lark's son Frank persuades young Jack Downie, the best thief in London, to employ his skills working with Frank for Sir Francis Walsingham, Queen Elizabeth's powerful spy-master. They join with Kate Lenton's daughter Susannah to rescue Jack's family, frail little Jess and huge, simple-minded Joe, from the vicious Ivory Sal and her two violent sons. Then all three risk their lives to save Mary, the imprisoned Queen of Scots, from Sir Francis' fanatical scheming to get her executed.
