Sinopse
Perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom and The Name of the Rose, the third historical
thriller featuring Giordano Bruno, heretic, philosopher and spy. In the pursuit
of power, nothing is sacred! Summer, 1584.
The Protestant Prince William of
Orange has been assassinated by a fanatical Catholic, and there are whispers
that Queen Elizabeth will be next. Fear haunts the streets of London, and plague
is driving many citizens away. Giordano Bruno, radical philosopher and spy,
chooses to remain, only to find that someone is following him through the city.
Confronting his stalker, he realizes it is the woman he once loved -- she is
on the run, having been accused of murder. Bruno travels to Canterbury to help
clear her name, and also on behalf of Sir Francis Walsingham. The Queen's
spymaster has long suspected Catholic influence in the ancient centre of
pilgrimage, and instructs Bruno to work to expose any enemy plots.
As Bruno
begins his hunt for the real killer, he is drawn into the heart of a sinister
conspiracy hiding in the shadow of England's holiest shrine!
