註釋When hospital doctor Peter Buchanan goes through his case notes for his following morning's clinic, he doesn't expect to be transported back four hundred years. There, he becomes caught up in one of Tudor England's most intriguing mysteries: a Catholic attempt to topple Queen Elizabeth that became known as "The Hesketh Plot". Nor did he expect that the lives of those so long ago would become as real to him as those of the twenty-first century. So real that, after being returned to his own time, he's determined to go back to the sixteenth century, to follow the fate brought down on those left in the plot's wake.Join Peter and become intimately immersed in the life of Ferdinando Stanley, Lord Strange and fifth Earl of Derby. Follow him into a fascinating, twisting story involving major figures of the time such as: Robert Devereux, second Earl of Essex; Sir Robert Cecil, Secretary of State to Queen Elizabeth; Margaret Stanley, Dowager Countess of Derby; Queen Elizabeth herself, and a wealth of characters all the way from Lathom House, the northern seat of power in Lancashire, to the Royal Court at Windsor Castle in the south.The very last thing Peter suspected was that his slip through time would also bring him love, something he'd long since dismissed as a lost hope. A hope that would then be denied him by time itself. But Peter has always been stubborn, the more so when confronted by the seemingly impossible.
