S.j. Parris

Heresy S.j. Parris First Trade Ed edition

When fugitive Italian monk Giordano Bruno?philosopher, magician, and heretical scientist?arrives in London, he?s only one step ahead of the Inquisition. An undercover mission for Queen Elizabeth I and her spymaster provides added protection. Officially, Bruno is to take part in a debate on the Copernican theory of the universe at Oxford University; unofficially, he is to find out whatever he can about a Catholic plot to overthrow the queen. But when his mission is dramatically thrown off course by a series of grisly deaths and the charms of a mysterious but beautiful young woman, he realizes that somewhere within Oxford?s private chambers lurks a brutal killer. . .
