While on a visit to London, American genealogist Jefferson Tayte’s old friend and colleague dies in his arms. Before long, Tayte and a truth-seeking historian, Professor Jean Summer, find themselves following a corpse-ridden trail that takes them to the Royal Society of London, circa 1708.
What to make of the story of five men of science, colleagues of Isaac Newton and Christopher Wren, who were mysteriously hanged for high treason?
As they edge closer to the truth, Tayte and the professor find that death is once again in season. A new killer, bent on restoring what he sees as the true, royal bloodline, is on the loose…as is a Machiavellian heir-hunter who senses that the latest round of murder, kidnapping, and scandal represents an unmissable business opportunity.
The Last Queen of England is a racing thriller with a heart-stopping conclusion. It is the third book in the Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery series but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story.
Revised edition: This edition of The Last Queen of England includes editorial revisions.

The description of their mutual embarrassment is beautifully handled, showing that Robinson can deal with historical detail, action-man antics and genuine emotion. When Marcus Brown is…
Fast-paced, gripping read I recently discovered the author’s Jefferson Tayte books and have been reading them in order. This is the best so far: very fast paced and hard to put down. The single line of narrative compared to the first two books really focuses the story telling, although at times it descends into Dan Brown style conspiracy notions, but managing thankfully to remain much better written. Personally, I found the occasional violence a little jarring and needing a little suspension of belief, but I really…
Yet another great book After the last two books, which were also very good, I couldn’t wait to read this one. Very different from the first two books as the stories are very different, but still with the great character of Jefferson Tayte.I was drawn into the story as the author described the places so well as the characters travelled around central London. It was almost like being with them as they travelled through the very streets I knew as a child as it is so well written.The story is full of…
