This is set in the Elizabethan time. It is the third book in a series written by the same author with the original characters.
Just like the other books, this book follows Nicholas Shelby, an unusual English physician who also helps those in power solve conspiracy theories.
In this book, Nicholas must help Robert Cecil find out what had happened to his acquaintance, Adolfo Sykes in Marrakech. Despite refusing to go as he intends to wed Bianca Merton, an apothecary who helps him and others in the poorer area by the Thames also worry of the impending plague. He is coerced in doing Robert's bidding.
The book is well written with vivid descriptions and dialogues. I liked how it made references to areas near the Thames in London and Marrakech in Morocco, places that I know. I don't really read books set in the Elizabethan Era so I didn't like some of the old terms that were used because I didn't quite understand them. However, it makes the story more realistic and other readers may find it more engaging.
