From the moment I picked up this book I knew I was going to have a great weekend of reading. I had a long journey to undertake and this book was going to be my saviour. I wasn't wrong.
Think of a crime novel and a real step back into history thriller ..and then merge the two. And this is what you have with S.W. Perry. This is a sequel to the author's first novel The Angel's Mark but you can easily read this book without having read the first.
Nicholas Shelby is a doctor and somehow he has become a spy - a job he wishes he didn't have to do. His spymaster Robert Cecil asks him to spy on a doctor from Switzerland but Shelby finds himself getting deep into a place he would rather not go. Treason, plot, an innocent patient caught up in the middle and the possible overthrow of the Queen gets him trapped in a worlld of dangerous fanatics.
