-------------------------------------------------------
Spring 1593. England is a powder keg of rumour and fear.
Plague rages, famine is rife, the ageing Queen's couriers scheme: Elizabeth's Golden Age is truly tarnished. Meanwhile Spain watches and waits - and plots.
Into this turmoil a small cart clatters through the streets of London, carrying a deadly load. It is the first in a wave of horrific bombing attacks on the Dutch immigrant community that will change John Shakespeare's life for ever.
Driven on by cold rage, his investigations will take him from royal horseraces to opulent brothel chambers, from the theatrical underworld of Marlowe and Kyd to pain-wracked torture cells , and from the elegant offices of master tactician Robert Cecil to the splintering timbers of an explosive encounter at sea.
As Shakespeare delves ever deeper, he uncovers intricate layers of mystery and deception that threaten the heart not only of the realm, but of all that he holds dear.

Critics' reviews
Beautifully done . . . alive and tremendously engrossing.
Enjoyable, bloody and brutish.
This is a historical thriller to send a shiver down your spine.
A cracking plot full of twists right up to the last minute. I look forward to the next.
Da dies der dritte Band einer Reihe um den Ermittler John Shakespeare (Bruder von William) ist, kann man nur hoffen, dass die beiden ersten Bände und der in Kürze erscheinende vierte Band der Reihe auch bald bei audible als Hörbuch vorliegen.
Absolutes Hörvergnügen
