    About this ebook

    Whitsunday is the second instalment of 1588: A Calendar of Crime, a collection of short stories published in step with the sixteenth century calendar. When a regent of St Salvator's appears to lose his wits, it falls to Giles and Hew to discern the cause, and to defend the college from the King's commissioners, in a darkly comic tale.
