  THE HANGING TREE

  A Rafferty and Llewellyn mystery novel

  By Geraldine Evans

  Available from Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Android, iPad, iPhone, iBookstore, etc.

  Fourth novel in the fifteen-strong Rafferty and Llewellyn mystery series

  ‘The original crossroads used to run by here,’ Sam told Rafferty. ‘Legend has it that this was the old Hanging Tree.’

  When Inspector Rafferty first hears the report that a bound and hooded body has been seen hanging from a tree in Dedman Wood, he dismisses it as a schoolboy hoax, especially when police at the scene find nothing out of the ordinary.

  But his anxiety rises sharply when the witness turns out to be a respectable local magistrate, who identifies the corpse as Maurice Smith, a man once accused of four child rapes. Thrown out on a legal technicality, Smith's case had become a cause-celebre which had generated much ill-feeling within the community.

  Rafferty and Sergeant Llewellyn visit Smith's home – to discover he has mysteriously disappeared. And in his flat they find a threatening letter, and fresh bloodstains…

  Then the body turns up again in the woods. Could there be a self-appointed executioner at work, meting out his own form of justice on the legendary Hanging Tree?

  RELUCTANT QUEEN

  Henry VIII's Defiant Little Sister

  By Geraldine Evans

  Available from Kindle, Nook, Kobo, Android, iPad, iPhone, iBookstore, etc.

  The story of Mary Rose Tudor, Henry VIII’s younger and favourite sister. The one after whom he named his famous ship, the Mary Rose.

  Mary, the beautiful, younger sister of English king, Henry VIII, reluctantly agrees to marry the aged and sickly Louis XII of France. But before agreeing, she extracts Henry's promise that she may please herself for her second marriage. Mary is deeply in love with the low-born Charles Brandon, her brother's boon companion, and is determined to wed Brandon should King Louis die.

  At the French court, Mary is pursued relentlessly by her aged husband's debauched heir, Francis. And with the death of her husband and Francis's elevation to the French throne and absolute power, her situation becomes desperate. Unprotected, Mary is a captive prey to Francis's lust for her.

  Will she ever be free to go to her lost love? Because since Louis's death, Mary has become increasingly anxious about the rumours she heard concerning her brother's plans for her future. Does Henry intend to push her into another loveless marriage to suit himself and the State?

  King Henry sends Charles Brandon to the French court on a diplomatic mission. Desperate, Mary persuades him to go through a secret marriage with her.

  Then, fearfully, they await Henry's reaction, aware that no one, not even his much-loved younger sister, defies him with impunity.
