'Narrator Kris Dyer's skilled delivery makes Elizabethan London – the privileged few, vast destitute, and Catholic heretics – come alive in a fact-based story. Listeners will meet Nicholas Shelby, a grieving physician who has taken to drink after the death of his wife and baby. After encountering a poor, crippled child who appears to have been murdered, Dyer's unwavering and appealing Shelby tries and fails to interest the authorities in his suspicion. He finds allies in apothecary Bianca Merton and wealthy Catholic John Lumley – both fascinating and expertly presented – who risk everything to help him. A shadow of doubt introduced early adds to the tension, while Dyer renders the atmosphere well that listeners can picture and even almost smell the surroundings.'

A gripping tale of espionage and murder in Elizabethan London.

LONDON, 1590. Queen Elizabeth I's control over her kingdom is wavering. Amidst a tumultuous backdrop of Spanish plotters, Catholic heretics and foreign wars threatening the country's fragile stability, the body of a small boy is found in the City of London, with strange marks that no one can explain. When idealistic physician Nicholas Shelby finds another body displaying the same marks only days later, he becomes convinced that a killer is at work, preying on the weak and destitute of London. Determined to find out who is behind these terrible murders, Nicholas is joined in his investigations by Bianca, a mysterious tavern keeper. As more bodies are discovered, the pair find themselves caught in the middle of a sinister plot. With the killer still at large, and Bianca in terrible danger, Nicholas's choice seems impossible – to save Bianca, or save himself ...

'A gorgeous book – rich, intelligent and dark in equal measure ... Historical fiction at its most sumptuous.'
Rory Clements

'Wonderful! Beautiful writing, and Perry's Elizabethan London is so skilfully evoked, so real that one can almost smell it.'

'An impressively dramatic and gripping debut novel ... I predict that we will be seeing much more of Nicholas Shelby, physician and reluctant spy.'
