With a narrative that grips the reader like a detective story, Antonia Fraser brings to life the characters and events of the Gunpowder Plot. Dramatically recreating the conditions and motives that surrounded the fateful night of 5 November 1605, she unravels the tangled web of religion and politics that spawned the plot.

'Told with impressive scholarship and panache ...The result is a narrative that is clear, balanced, and builds to its denoument with a sense of pace and tension worthy of a John le Carre novel'— Sunday Telegraph

Winner of the Crime Writers' Gold Dagger Award for Non-Fiction

Robert Powell was Jesus in Franco ZefHreWi's Jesus of Nazareth. Television appearances include Jude the Obscure and The Detectives. Films include Harlequin and Imperative. Theatre credits include Travesties at the RSC, Sherlock Holmes — The Musical with the Bristol Old Vic, Kind Hearts and Coronets (national tour) and a two-hander with Susannah York called Double Double.
