Elizabeth I's reign is known as a golden age, yet to much of Europe she was a 'Jezebel' and heretic who had to be destroyed. The Watchers is a thrilling portrayal of the secret state that sought to protect the Queen; a shadow world of spies, codebreakers, agent provocateurs and confidence-men who would stop at nothing to defend the realm. Stephen Alford brilliantly evokes a time of surveillance, paranoia, blackmail, plots and torture, when no-one could be trusted, and a single mistake could have changed England's history forever.
