|title=Queen & Country: A Hew Cullan Mystery (Hew Cullan Mystery 5)
|rating=5
|genre=Historical Fiction
|summary=It has been three years since Hew was banished from Scotland and manoeuvred into working for Elizabeth I's spymaster, Walsingham. His loyalties remain with the Scottish Queen Mary but he must hide them as well as he can lest he becomes a victim of the conspiracy fever cutting through England and keeping the hangman busy. There's also another fever cutting through Scotland – the plague, providing even more reason for Hew to worry about the wellbeing of his sister, brother in law and nephew. If he could but go home he'd have a surprise for them. When he gets there, there's a surprise for him in the form of a death prophesy picture, followed by a murder.

|author=Ian Ross
|summary=British author Derek Wilson is one with a tremendously long bibliography as a Historian, and as an author of fiction. He brings all of that to '''The First Horseman''', a resounding success that blends fact and fiction to create a gripping, fast moving Tudor crime story that educates as well as fascinates, moving from the merchants of Cheapside to the whores of Southwark, and mixing with figures such as Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII.
