THE START OF AN INCREDIBLE NEW SERIES FROM NO.1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING S. J. PARRISEngland, 1598. Queen Elizabeth’s successor remains unnamed. The country teeters on a knife edge.

When a young heiress is found murdered at the theatre, the Queen’s spymaster Robert Cecil calls upon former agent Sophia de Wolfe to investigate.

A cryptic note found on the dead girl’s body connects to Sophia’s previous life as a spy, and her quest soon takes her into dangerous waters. Powerful enemies emerge, among them the Earl of Essex: the Queen’s favourite courtier and a man of ruthless ambition.

This is a murder that reaches directly into the heart of the court. And Sophia is concealing a deep-buried secret of her own. She must uncover the truth before her past threatens to destroy her.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Praise for S. J. Parris ‘Superbly plotted, shimmeringly written, it will have you on the edge of your seat’ Kate Williams, author of The Storms of War ‘An impressive feat. The plot, one of exhilarating complexity, was handled with aplomb’ Marisa Haetzman, also writes as Ambrose Parry ‘S. J. Parris is one of my favourite authors – and unquestionably our greatest living writer of historical thrillers’ A.J. Finn, author of End of Story ‘A brilliantly realised fictionalisation of the Babington plot against Elizabeth 1…Nimbly braiding history with suspense, this is a classy mystery’ Observer ‘Immaculate… the depth of period detail, the all-enveloping sense of time and place, and the sheer gory drama’ Metro ‘Sumptuous’ New York Times ‘Parris’s attention to the details of Elizabethan life and her ability to create characters of depth are again on display in a gripping narrative’ The Sunday Times ‘Fast-paced and entertaining, it’s a well-researched and authentically claustrophobic romp through the Elizabethan underworld’ Mail on Sunday ‘Parris is one of the stars of historical crime fiction and this, her sixth Giordano Bruno novel, is among her best’ i ‘A delicious blend of history and thriller’ The Times ‘A tight plot combines with subtly-realised characters and an omnipresent sense of danger … My pleasure in the vividly textured backdrop and a cracking story was accompanied by an uneasy shudder’ Daily Mail ‘Colourful characters, fast-moving plots and a world where one false step in religion or politics can mean a grisly death’ Sunday Times
