C.C.Humphreys

The french executioner

On a spring day at the Tower of London scaffold a last request is granted ...It is 1536 and the expert swordsman Jean Rombaud has been brought over from France by Henry VIII to behead Anne Boleyn. But on the eve of her execution Rombaud swears a vow to the ill-fated queen. He promises to bury her sixfingered hand, Symbol of her rumoured witchery, at a sacred crossroads. Yet in a Europe ravaged by religious war, the hand of this infamous Protestant icon is so powerful a relic that many will kill for it ... From a battle between slave galleys, through the hallucinations of St Anthony's Fire to the fortress of an apocalyptic Messiah, Jean seeks to honour his vow. The Frencb Executioner is a Story of courage, the pursuit of power - and loyalty beyond reason ... 'Falling somewhere between the novels of Bernard Cornwell and Wilbur Smith ...a rollicking good yarn' John Daly, Irish Examiner
