Jean Plaidy’s robust historical novels, which range from the turbulence of Tudor England to the terrors of the French Revolution, have enthralled readers for nearly twenty years.

          The Captive Queen of Scots brilliantly re-creates the story of Mary Stuart’s life after the murder of Darnley and defeat at Carberry Hill.

          Still young and lovely, she was now in the hands of her enemies ….. and the central figure in a network of political and emotional intrigue. Plots, escape attempts and passionate involvements reach a chilling climax in the last grim scene in the hall of Fotheringay.
