He recruited likely young men and ''turned'' others. He encourage Elizabeth to make war against the Catholic Irish rebels, with extreme brutality and oversaw the execution of Mary Queen of Scots.The Queen''s Agent is a story of secret agents, cryptic codes and ingenious plots, set in a turbulent period of England''s history.
