Book excerpt: 1761, London. After years of service, the famous magistrate John Fielding - known as the Blind Beak - is to receive a knighthood. At the Palace, the invited audience eagerly crane for a first glimpse of the new queen - widely rumoured to be the ugliest the country has ever seen. With his wife ill and unable to accompany him to the investiture, Apothecary John Rawlings steps in to attend with Fielding. But he soon finds himself embroiled in a puzzling mystery. Nobleman George Goward tumbles down the palace's great staircase to his death. There are no witnesses save one: Sir John Fielding, whose senses, save sight, are renowned. A whispered sentence, an exhalation of breath - these are the only clues to suggest Goward did not fall, but was pushed. But by whom? Rawlings offers his investigative skills - though his wife, Emilia, is expecting their first baby - and finds himself with no shortage of suspects... Yet at the core of the mystery lies something more. And the more he digs, the more he realises that the children are the key to unlocking the puzzle of the Death at St James's Palace... Deryn Lake is the author of the John Rawlings Mysteries, Nick Lawrence novels, and a number of historical fiction and historical romances. She was born in Essex and began writing at an early age, before eventually turning her hand to writing novels as a profession. She currently resides in Sussex. Death at St James's Palace is the eighth in the John Rawlings series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first modern history of St James's Palace, shedding light on a remarkable building at the heart of the history of the British monarchy that remains by far the least known of the royal residences In this first modern history of St James's Palace, the authors shed new light on a remarkable building that, despite serving as the official residence of the British monarchy from 1698 to 1837, is by far the least known of the royal residences. The book explores the role of the palace as home to the heir to the throne before 1714, its impact on the development of London and the West end during the late Stuart period, and how, following the fire at the palace of Whitehall, St James's became the principal seat of the British monarchy in 1698. The arrangement and display of the paintings and furnishings making up the Royal Collection at St James's is chronicled as the book follows the fortunes of the palace through the Victorian and Edwardian periods up to the present day. Specially commissioned maps, phased plans, and digital reconstructions of the palace at key moments in its development accompany a rich array of historical drawings, watercolors, photographs, and plans. The book includes a foreword by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. Published in association with Royal Collection Trust

Book Synopsis By Royal Appointment by : David Rogers
Download or read book By Royal Appointment written by David Rogers and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Privy Council is a centuries-old institution - yet, for an entity with such extensive influence over Britain's history, we know relatively little about it. What exactly does it do? To whom is it accountable? Just how much power does it hold over us? Some say it has no power at all, although you might not agree if you'd been sentenced to death in a former British overseas territory that still used the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council as its court of appeal; or if you were a lecturer having a row with your college, where the University Chancellor was a member of the royal family. Or, indeed, if you were a Prime Minister trying to establish a Royal Charter to control the press. Traditionally an advisory body to the sovereign, the Privy Council's chequered past is full of scandals and secrecy, plots and counterplots - and while it may no longer have the authority to command a beheading, its reach continues to extend into both parliamentary and public life. In By Royal Appointment, David Rogers examines it all, taking us on a fascinating, anecdote-filled odyssey through the history of one of England's oldest and most secretive government bodies.
