GODS SECRET AGENTS

28 October 1588. Two young Jesuit priests landed in secret on a Norfolk beach. Their aim was to achieve by force of argument what the Armada had failed to do by force of arms: return England to the Catholic Church. Eighteen years later their mission had been shattered by the Gunpowder Plotters - and the future of every Catholic they had come to save depended on the silence of an Oxford joiner, builder of priest-holes, being tortured in the Tower of London.
