The No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling series The fifth book in S. J. Parris's bestselling, critically acclaimed series following Giordano Bruno, set at the time of Queen Elizabeth I Perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom and Hilary Mantel PARIS, 1585 A KING WITHOUT AN HEIR Heretic-turned-spy Giordano Bruno arrives in Paris to find a city on the edge of catastrophe. King Henri III lives in fear of a coup by the Duke of Guise and his fanatical Catholic League, and another massacre on the streets. A COURT AT WAR WITH GOD When Bruno's old rival, Father Paul Lef�vre is found murdered, Bruno is drawn into a dangerous web of religious politics and court intrigue. And watching over his shoulder is the King's mother, Catherine de Medici, with her harem of beautiful spies. A DEADLY CONSPIRACY IN PLAY When murder strikes at the heart of the Palace, Bruno finds himself on the trail of a killer who is protecting a terrible secret. With the royal houses of France and England under threat, Bruno must expose the truth - or be silenced for good. Praise for S. J. Parris `A delicious blend of history and thriller' The Times `An omnipresent sense of danger' 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 `Pacy, intricate, and thrilling' Observer `Vivid, sprawling . Well-crafted, exuberant' Financial Times `Impossible to resist' Daily Telegraph `Twists and turns like a corkscrew of venomous snakes' Stuart MacBride `It has everything - intrigue, mystery and excellent history' Kate Mosse `The period is incredibly vivid and the story utterly gripping' Conn Iggulden `A brilliantly unusual glimpse at the intrigues surrounding Queen Elizabeth I' Andrew Taylor
