FACE DOWN O'ER THE BORDER (Lady Appleton Mysteries)

The year is 1577, and Mary, the abdicated queen of Scots, is a prisoner in England. But Mary's Scotland is a wild and foreign land with strikingly different laws: murder is a civil matter not prosecuted and sometimes settled with money. Does Scotlands political unrest tie in with the murder of Susanna's friend Catherine? And even if Susanna Appleton can find her Catherine, who has disappeared in the company of a notorious spy, what will become of Catherines young children? An authentically historical tale of intrigue in ye old Isle.
