Calling upon the courts of dukes, princes and a dowager queen, they uncover far more questions than answers: What ties them all together? Has an assassin targeted Robert? And how can an Austrian priest, a Reformed pastor, and a disillusioned Anglican sow the seeds of reconciliation in a Christian church at war with itself?Called into Service is the first book in the Robert Curtis series of mysteries. Enter his world of politics, religion, and ambition to explore a story of faith, mercy, justice, and love.
