A Season for Justice by John Pilkington

A Season for Justice by John Pilkington

England, 1618. Ex-magistrate Robert Belstrang receives a plea from a dying friend, Sir Richard Mountford, to visit him at Foxhill Manor. However once he arrives, he discovers that Sir Richard is not dying, but merely desperate.

His brother John has been killed in an explosion at the family’s iron foundry, down in the remote Forest of Dean. They cast cannons for the Royal Armouries – a privileged and lucrative business. But Sir Richard does not believe John’s death was an accident, and implores Belstrang – the only man he can trust - to investigate.

But when Belstrang starts to ask questions, the mystery only deepens and once the truth begins to unfold, it does so with dangerous implications reaching far beyond England’s shores.

This time Belstrang must follow the trail to the bitter end, which could result in the saving of his own estate – or his total ruin.

A writer for over forty years, John Pilkington was born in Lancashire and worked at many jobs including laboratory assistant, farm worker, weaver, shipping clerk, picture frame-maker and cabaret musician before taking a degree in Drama and English and finding his true 2 vocation. He has since written plays for radio and theatre, television scripts for a BBC soap, a short-lived children’s series and numerous works of historical fiction, concentrating now on the Tudor and Stuart eras. He also ventured into speculative fiction with his biography of Shakespeare’s famous jester, Yorick. He now lives in a village on a tidal estuary in Devon with his long-term partner Elisabeth; they have a son who is a psychologist and musician. When not at the desk he walks, swims, listens to music and tinkers with d.i.y. projects, and is enjoying being a grandfather.
