Renegade monk Giordano Bruno returns in this thrilling historical mystery.  Bruno is a condemned heretic just out of the reach of the Spanish Inquisition and enjoying the relative safety and intellectual freedom of Queen Elizabeth's England.  Queen Elizabeth's spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham has another job for Bruno, this time to search out a conspiracy against the Queen in the French Embassy.  While Bruno is untangling court intrigues, one of the Queen's maids of honour is murdered and occult signs cut into her skin.  Bruno is convinced the murder is connected to a plot against the Queen, but Elizabeth refuses to believe that the killer could be someone with in her own court.  Bruno must find the proof the Queen needs with out giving away his own precarious undercover position or allowing the conspiracy to go too far.  Atmospheric and full of intrigue, these mysteries draw the reader into a skillfully woven world of court politics and secret desires where one misstep by Bruno will be his last. -- Ann D.
