About the Book

The new historical thriller featuring Giordano Bruno - heretic, philosopher, and spy - which finds Bruno going undercover to prevent an assassination plot on Queen Elizabeth. England, 1586. A treasonous conspiracy . . . Giordano Bruno, a heretic turned spy, arrives in England with shocking information for spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham. A band of Catholic Englishmen are plotting to kill Queen Elizabeth and spring Mary Queen of Scots from prison to take the English throne in her place. A deadly trap . . . Bruno is surprised to find that Walsingham is aware of the plot - led by the young, wealthy noble Anthony Babington - and is allowing it to progress. He hopes that Mary will put her support in writing - and condemn herself to a traitor's death. A queen in mortal danger . . . Bruno is tasked with going undercover to join the conspirators. Can he stop them before he is exposed? Either way a queen will die; Bruno must make sure it is the right one.

Review :
"An evil bookseller and a terrifying brothel lie ahead; what's not to like? Gripping and fun."-- "The Observer (London)[praise for S. J. Parris]" "Parris's Giordano Bruno series has been a joy. Her Elizabethan England is loud, pungent, and blessedly free of some of the genre's more egregious clichés. She wears her research lightly: at home with the detail of the period, she is quite happy to engage in a little creative anachronism to bring the story home."-- "The Daily Telegraph (UK)[praise for S. J. Parris]" "There are echoes of C. J. Sansom's here. Her prose is taut and compelling. Her wielding of the historical material is always convincing but never overwhelming."-- "The Times (London)[praise for S. J. Parris]" "Intrigue, subterfuge, machinations and assassinations, plus power struggles between queens: sounds like a great weekend of reading right there."-- "Omnivoracious's Weekend Reading, The Amazon Book Review" "A masterful work that deserves a place on all public-library historical-fiction shelves, and that should be recommended to Phillipa Gregory fans."-- "Booklist (starred)[praise for S. J. Parris]" "Excellent. This is historical mystery fiction at its finest."-- "Publishers Weekly (starred)[praise for S. J. Parris]" "From the moment the perceptive and courageous Bruno agrees to go undercover, the story fairly races along, filled with murders, kidnapping, political intrigue, ciphers, romance, and a spot of torture. Those who enjoy a ripping yarn as well as history buffs who demand accuracy in the details will be satisfied."-- "Publishers Weekly" "Hugely enjoyable. It's played straight, but never humourlessly so, and there's just enough 'proper' history amid the intrigue to keep purists on side."-- "The Guardian (UK)[praise for S. J. Parris]" "One of my favorite authors, and she is unquestionably our greatest living writer of historical thrillers. Few novelists inhabit a setting - any setting - with such confidence and command; fewer still devise plots of such cunning and craft. If Hilary Mantel, John Le Carré, and Michael Connelly were to join forces, they might gift us with a novel as atmospheric, intelligent, and addictive as Treachery - or indeed any of Parris's books featuring monk-turned-spy Giordano Bruno."--A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window [praise for S. J. Parris] "With its twisting plot and vivid scene-setting, Treachery confirms Parris's growing reputation as a writer of historical thrillers."-- "The Sunday Times (London)[praise for S. J. Parris]" Giordano Bruno, the Italian philosopher-sleuth in this sumptuous series, goes undercover as a Jesuit priest to thwart the assassination plot before it can bring down the monarchy and throw the nation into anarchy. But first, he must solve the exceptionally cruel murder of a much-loved woman whose abused body is discovered in an abandoned graveyard, "a pit of sluts, criminals and suicides." The ferocity of that killing is fair warning of what's ahead: scenes of prison torture (think: "strappado," "scold's bridle" and "the heretic's fork"), culminating in a public execution so intense that it might cause one to toss one's cookies.--Marylin Stasio "New York Times Book Review"
