Heresy
Giordano Bruno’s belief that the Earth is not the center of the Universe could get him burned at the stake, but Queen Elizabeth I has other uses for him. Her Protestant realm is rife with Catholic conspiracies, and she wants him to be her eyes and ears at the fiercely papist Oxford University.
Almost immediately, a series of murders throws his mission off course. Is there a pattern in the killings? Bruno thinks so, and it chills him to the core, for—seemingly obsessed with the boundary between truth and heresy—the killer may have ties to Bruno’s own heretic past….
Bringing to mind The Dante Club, S.J. Parris’ Heresy is a historical thriller of the first rank—cleverly written, utterly fascinating and thoroughly unpredictable.
