The new 2023 historical thriller in the court of the Holy Roman
Emperor in the The No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling series, perfect
for fans of C. J. Sansom and The Mirror and the Light by Hilary
Mantel Prague, 1588. A COURT IN TURMOIL The Holy Roman Emperor,
Rudolf II, wants to expand the boundaries of human knowledge, and
his court is a haven for scientists, astrologers and alchemists.
His abiding passion is the feverish search for the philosopher’s
stone and thus immortality. The Catholic Church fears he has pushed
too far, into the forbidden realm of heresy – and the greatest
powers in Christendom are concerned about the imperial line of
succession. A MURDERED ALCHEMIST Giordano Bruno is sent to his
court by Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth I’s spymaster. His
task: to contact the famous English alchemist and mystic John Dee,
another of Walsingham’s spies. But Bruno’s arrival in Prague
coincides with the brutal murder of a rival alchemist – and John
Dee himself has disappeared. AN UNFORGIVING ENEMY Ordered by the
emperor to find the killer, Bruno’s investigations bring him face
to face with an old enemy from the Inquisition. But could the real
danger lie elsewhere? Amidst the jostling factions at court and the
religious tensions brewing in the city, Bruno has to track down a
murderer as elusive as the elixir of life itself. *SJ Parris was
