The Heresy of Dr. Dee: Being Edited from the Most Private Documents of Dr. John Dee, Astrologer and Consultant to Queen Elizabeth - Rilegato
Sinossi
At the end of the sunless summer of 1560, black rumor shrouds the death of the one woman who stands between Lord Robert Dudley and marriage to the young Queen Elizabeth. Did Dudley's wife, Amy, die from an accidental fall in a deserted house, or was it murder? Even Dr. John Dee, astrologer royal, adviser on the Hidden and one of Dudley's oldest friends, is uncertain. Then a rash promise to the Queen sends him to his family's old home on the Welsh Border in pursuit of the Wigmore Shewstone, a crystal credited with supernatural properties. With Dee goes Robert Dudley, considered the most hated man in England. They travel with a London judge sent to try a sinister Welsh brigand with a legacy dating back to the Battle of Brynglas. After the battle, many of the English bodies were, according to legend, obscenely mutilated. Now, on the same haunted hill, another dead man has been found, similarly slashed. Devious politics, small-town corruption, twisted religion, and a brooding superstition leave John Dee isolated in the land of his father.

Recensione
... a fabulously murky tale, full of dark detail, gruesome violence and twisting plotlines... --Daily Mail
A great sense of atmosphere --We Love This Book
The story is as dense and as character-led as the Merrily Watkins novels, and also shares the strong sense of place and spooky atmosphere. There is humour as well as horror. Much recommended. --Eurocrime.co.uk
This is one of my favourite historical series for a long time and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a very exciting read. --Bookbag.co.uk
