I am a middle man. That is why they are dead. Meet Jack Chap, middle man extraordinaire, by both trade and temperament. He's a nice guy. Everybody says so. His secretary, his friends, his colleagues. He couldn't have committed brutal murder in his office. Could he? A financial professional who strives for an ordered life personally and professionally, Jack Chap lives in the middle. No matter the circumstances, Jack will try to find the middle ground. He is not a boat-rocker. He is not argumentative. He is not opinionated. What happens when this reasonable, principled man in the middle is pushed beyond the limits of his dearly-held center? You'd think unraveling begins at the edges. But in this case, it just may have started in the middle.

Duas rainhas, dois destinos interligados. Duas mulheres que mudaram o curso da História. Rainha desde os doze dias e vivendo na corte francesa desde os cinco anos, Maria Stuart tinha dezasseis quando se tornou rainha de França, dezassete quando ficou viúva; e dezoito quando voltou à Escócia para desempenhar o seu papel de rainha numa terra conturbada. Fugindo às ideias preconcebidas sobre esta personagem, o autor através de um estudo minucioso retrata uma rainha astuta e consciente, que regressa à sua Escócia natal para reclamar o trono, sob o domínio da prima Isabel I de Inglaterra. Maria, Rainha dos Escoceses, que nos é dada a conhecer ultrapassa a imagem de uma de mulher guerreira, perseguindo os inimigos com um elmo e espada em riste, mas de alguém que possuía uma grande habilidade política e inteligência, num mundo essencialmente masculino. Aos vinte e cinco anos ficou prisioneira de Isabel de quem só se libertaria se morresse. A vida de Maria Stuart é um drama e um conflito inigualáveis. Uma biografia soberba com uma narrativa extraordinária. A reinterpretação que faltava da vida de Maria, rainha dos escoceses, por um dos grandes historiadores dos nossos dias. «Uma biografia que é tão emocionante como uma história de detectives, rica em pormenores e assertiva na análise.» Sunday Times
