Publisher's summary

In the rural peace of modern England, a war game recreates the slaughter of the Civil War. But when the battle ends, a real corpse is left it the Swine Brook; and an aristocratic but impoverished revolutionary claims to have found a cache of "Cromwell's Gold".

When David Audley is called in, 17th-century secrets and the deadly game of modern espionage clash in a brilliantly intricate thriller of bluff and counterbluff.

This time it's re enacted battles between Cromwell


and the Royalists on the old battlegrounds. English Civil War.

Do not expect Martin Cruze-Smith or even LeCarre, and you could get a palatable dose of
interesting history. As well as 'Spy vs Spy'
English polies not wanting a rightful heir to collect his millions and no one telling anyone what the game is really about.
A story about those Rusky and the KGB. Curious CIA operatives. Spanish gold robbed from South America and stolen again by the Russians during or after the Spanish Civil War. And yes a little about cunning and good luck. Cromwell's.

okay read about Civil War reenactors

English Civil War, that is. well plotted, veddy English, mystery. Dated sexism and failure to develop female characters. Sytill the best of the 3 I've read.
