About the Book

May 1665. With winter passed, Mercia Blakewood is at last headed back to England from America, hoping to leave behind the shadow cast by death and heartache. She expects a welcome from the king considering her earlier mission on his behalf, but the reception she receives after her long voyage home could hardly be called warm. With the country now at war with the Dutch, the Crown has decided that Mercia is an asset to be used once again. More manipulation lies ahead as Mercia must accept a clandestine role at the heart of the glittering and debauched royal court to unmask a spy and traitor.

About the Author :

In 2013 he moved to New York, where he wrote his debut novel Birthright. He has also lived in Paris, on the literary Left Bank. In addition to his love of history, he has a passion for travel, including a number of road-trips through over forty American states. In 2016 he moved back to England and finished writing the second book in the Mercia Blakewood series, Puritan.

Review :
"A superbly crafted, unfailingly entertaining, and thoroughly riveting read from beginning to end, David Hingley's "Traitor" is another skillfully written historical novel by a master of the genre."--Midwest Book Review (06/01/2018) "A very readable historical yarn set in the time of King Charles II. ... An enjoyable whodunnit."--The Halcyon Days of Summer "Hingley's blend of real and imagined people and events brings the Restoration vividly to life. Mercia is a fantastic heroine, smart, resourceful and determined. Hingley has clearly researched the period well ... I really enjoyed the first two books but this is definitely the strongest so far."--Rambling Mads "I love good historical fiction and I love novels with an awesome female lead and this series has both. ... a story I thoroughly enjoyed and a series I have loved and would thoroughly recommend."--The Overflowing Library "Readers will be rewarded with a splendid dual-climax of naval battle where even those watching from the shore will be far from safe. This was a period when England's whole future was in doubt, a simmering cauldron of possibility. The author, with boisterous enthusiasm, has seized on this promising situation, making the most of it by writing this exciting novel."--Historical Novels Review "The characters are colourful, the historical setting is interesting, and Hingley's use of language really puts you in the mindset of reading something historically based in the 1600s. I would certainly recommend it to fans of the genre as it immediately put me in mind of C J Sansom."--Cozybookworm "The portrayal of Charles II's court is full of colour. ... there's a strong sense of the fragility and vulnerability of Charles II's reign."--For Winter Nights "The stench of the Southhampton docks, the London streets and the smell of fear were evident from the first page. ... [Mercia] is a great character with plenty of personality."--The Book Trail "This is a fascinating look at the profligate court of King Charles II and of the dangers which so often lingered in shadows. ... The mystery, at the centre of the story is well thought out, and there are more than enough twists and turns to keep the adventure alive in the imagination. I found it quite refreshing to have a female lead protagonist who didn't conform to the usual rigid protocols which were so evident at this time in history. Traitor is an intriguing journey into the political arena of the mid-seventeenth century."--Jaffareadstoo... "This was a well paced romp, with plenty of twists and turns for Mercia to overcome and keep the interest of the reader, against the backdrop of the war with the Dutch."--The Book Bug "Traitor is my first experience of a book by David Hingley but put me down as hooked! ... The plot is full of twists and turns ... Traitor is a cracking historical mystery, full of colourful characters, with an intriguing story line and an evocative sense of the period in which it is set."--What Cathy Read Next
