Byron Long

When a brilliant crime writer investigates a 40-year-old murder, he confronts a small town's worst fears.

Towards the end of her father Henry the VIII's reign, a young Elizabeth quarrels with half-sister Mary Tudor and worries that her beloved stepmother Catherine Parr will face the same fate as Henry's other wives, including Elizabeth's mother Anne Boleyn. Based on the similarly titled children's book, "The Royal Diaries: Elizabeth I: Red Rose of the House of Tudor, England, 1544".
