A curious investigator with an interest in solving cases, Bruno begins to look into events, as more men soon find themselves dead. During all this, Bruno comes upon an event that can only be murder, though the local authorities are baffled about it. With little to lose, Bruno begins the journey in the royal party and prepares to explore the clash between the celestial and religious aspects of the universe with a well-established priest. When Bruno makes his way to England, he is welcomed as somewhat of an outcast and invited by one of the close advisors of Queen Elizabeth to make his way to Oxford. After spending years on the run from the Inquisition, Bruno was excommunicated and left to educate himself in some of Europe’s best universities. When he was caught with a controversial (and illegal) book one day, Bruno chose to flee rather than face the severe punishment. He sought to educate himself and challenge the beliefs of his monastic order quite regularly. Giordano Bruno was never the most conforming monk when he took his orders in Naples. Parachuting into the middle of the religious wars across Europe and using late 16th century England as a setting, Parris creates quite the story that has many facets, sure to entertain the reader. Parris series that I tried a few years ago. Always a fan of historical fiction, I decided to come back to the S.J.
