This book is a captivating account of the life of Sir Thomas Overbury, a brilliant poet and a favourite of King James I, who was poisoned in the Tower of London. At the time of his death, Overbury was a close confidant to Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset, a powerful courtier, who was having an affair with Frances Howard, Countess of Essex. Overbury had warned Somerset against marrying the countess, and it is believed that this led to his murder, which was orchestrated by the countess and Somerset.
