"England is rife with conspiracies to assassinate Elizabeth I and return the country to Rome—plots that foment in places like the fiercely papist University of Oxford. Giordano Bruno—renegade monk, poet, scientist, and magician—arrives in London, fleeing the Roman Inquisition. Bruno believes that the Earth orbits the sun, and this alone could have him burned at the stake, but he also seeks a lost book of ancient truth, which he believes will end the Wars of Religion. Bruno is recruited by Elizabeth's spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, and sent undercover to Oxford, but his mission is thrown off course by a series of grisly murders. Bruno suspects that the murderer is trying to send a message— but what and to whom? Stalking the killer through the shadowy cloisters of the colleges and back streets of Oxford, he soon learns that sometimes even the wisest men cannot tell truth from heresy."

I quite enjoyed this book. It reminded me of the Shardlake series by S.J. Samson, but then the books are set in roughly the same area and time. I would definately be interested in reading the next book 'Prophecy'. The book itself isn't anything out of the ordinary, but it was enjoyable and everything that I had expected.

This book wille be left somewhere in the archeological park, most likely somewhere near the museum. Happy travels little book!
