SUN 'A hard-hitting and gritty read'

A tale of drugs, prostitution and a young girl's fight for survival - against all the odds Imelda Dooley is scared. Really scared. She’s played hard and fast and now she’s been caught. She’s pregnant and now she’s on her own. Her father, not a man to mess with, will see that somebody pays for this. And it’s not going to be her. So Imelda Dooley tells a lie. A lie that literally causes murders.
When Mary Dooley’s husband is killed in the night’s events, she knows she must graft to keep the family afloat. And graft she does, becoming a name in her own right. But she still has to watch her daughter’s life spiral into a vicious, hate-fuelled cycle of drugs and prostitution.
Caught up in the carnage that is Imelda’s existence are Mary’s adored grandchildren, Jordanna and Kenny. Pretty little Jordanna isn’t yet three and she already knows far too much. All she can do is look after her baby brother, Kenny, and try not to draw unwanted attention to herself.

The second appearance of Sigismondo, the Renaissance trouble-shooter for Duke Ludovico of Rocca, finds him at the bedside of expiring Princess Oralia while her husband, evil Prince Lido, beheads his young son - believing that he and his twin sister, Lady Minerva, were begat by another. Sigismondo and his half-witted companion Benno flee with Minerva, disguise her aa a peasant boy, and head for Fontecasta, a supposedly haunted castle but actually the home of a nobleman blinded by Duke Grifone. Meanwhile, during preparations for the feast of Saint Bernardina, the Duke's advisor, Cardinal Petrucci, is set ablaze and killed, and his sister, the bossy Princess Corio, hires Sigismondo to discover whodunit. Deftly maneuvering through political intrigues, Sigismondo discovers clerical improprieties (love affairs, bribes), treacherous mercenaries, household spies, avid torturers, eager Jew-baiters, and crafty magicians, and manages to outwit them all. Teeming with fleas, rancid food, bloodthirsty peasants, conniving nobles, lecherous prelates, thumbscrews, saintly relics, and political feuds. Lively but, like Eyre's Death of the Duchess (1992), can't shake the YA label with its jampacked this-is-history-kids tone. (Kirkus Reviews)

Elizabeth Eyre Poison for the Prince Pbk published November 2008 by Headline at Ł0.00 ISBN: 0747242143

You think you've got problems? Prince Scipione of Viverra, his treasury depleted by the siege of Mascia, turns to alchemy in a desperate attempt to replenish his stores of gold, calling down the wrath of Brother Ambrogio, the tame firebrand invited to court by Scipione's mother to preach against vanity. The prince is preoccupied with keeping a wary eye on freelance mercenary Gatta, who took Mascia for him, but he has troubles closer to home: His hostage, Donato Landucci, is plying Scipione's wife, Princess Isotta, with aphrodisiacs; his son Francesco alternates between carefree whoring and renouncing the princedom; and somebody, inevitably, is trying to kill him. Though Scipione's life is repeatedly and miraculously spared, other intimates of the court - the flirtatious Ginevra Matarazza, the Venetian ambassador Signor Loredano, the lovesick Landucci - are not so lucky. So it's up to soldier of fortune Sigismondo (Curtains for the Cardinal, 1993, etc.), first employed to report on Gatta's siege of Mascia, to sort out the intrigues and keep the prince in power - while avoiding the three cousins who are trying to kill Sigismondo himself. Less earnestly didactic than Sigismondo's earlier adventures, but still aswirl in enough Machiavellian plots, moonlit assignations, treacherous hirelings, and summary beheadings to keep you bedazzled in a perpetual haze of Renaissance chiaroscuro.
