Her detective is Doctor John Dee, a real Tudor figure, who was an astronomer, philosopher, medic, advisor, and spy for Elizabeth 1st.  His apprentice is a woman called Margaretta Morgan, born with the strange gift of hearing and feeling what is not said. As a woman in Tudor times, she can move among others, ignored, as she picks up evidence to feed back to her master. As they work together to solve the crime, both must face the mystery but also fight their own battles.

Both books have been recommended by the Historical Novel Society.
