Having read the other novels by S. W. Perry I was keen to carry on the saga of Nicholas Shelby. Being a doctor in Elizabethan times and also a sleuth it is not long before you realise that all is not right in the life of London. You don't need to have read the previous books as you soon get a grip of the characters but I like the fact that I have followed through from when the author first started these tales.
It is 1594 , it is difficult to know who to trust. Conspiracies, murders, treason - it is all happening. Even the Queen's physician has met his doom and has been executed. But Nicholas has been named as being an associate and part of the plot and so his life and that of his new wife, Bianca, are too under threat. He must not only take care to save their lives but he must also solve the mystery of who exactly is to blame for the goings on and bring them to justice before it is too late.
Yet another thrilling novel in the series- brilliant
