Jake Elmbridge’s family is moving house again. His new home is different to anywhere he’s lived before. Built right next to the world-famous Brooklands racing circuit and Brooklands Museum, the view from his new bedroom window is pretty unusual. So too are the things Jake keeps seeing. He’s convinced that the ghost of a Brooklands racing driver has started following him around. What a ghost could possibly want from Jake is something he's determined to find out. Meanwhile in the heart of Europe, Count Unterheim has been plotting. He may be frail, but nobody will prevent him from achieving his life ambition. Little does Jake realise but his world and Count Unterheim's are about to collide on the most spectacular day of Brooklands' great racing history...

The Darkest of Tidings Can Lead to the Greatest of TriumphsBanished from his beloved London in 1303, Gregory of Bordeaux heads to Gascony, the old wine duchy in southwest France, to wait out his expulsion. Far from idle, he is burdened with tasks that if completed, enable a triumphal return home, where his wife and infant twins await. Out into the hills he rides, the cities and castles, the vineyards and wastelands, each stop a step closer to the tidy merchant's life he'd left behind. Smoldering among the writs and letters tucked in his satchel is an arrest warrant, one he must serve on an outlawed traitor to the king. Safe within the walls of his bleak stronghold, Alphonse of Bayonne--brooding over his mistakes and eaten through with tedium--must bide his time until a royal pardon, his last and doubtful hope for redemption, is granted. Gregory, who in exile sees a grand opportunity for his own ends, has other ideas. The Gascony Letters, sequel to The Southampton Chronicle, is another stone-and-steel dash through the Middle Ages, another series of high escapades in a time when horses were fast, swords were sharp, and all roads led to peril. Joined by his former page, Warren of Lichfield, Gregory again resorts to his feared weapon of choice--a goose-feather quill dipped in poisonous ink--as he struggles to tilt the field in his favor.
