S. J. Parris | Sacrilege
Sacrilege by S. J. Parris is the third historical thriller in the acclaimed Giordano Bruno series. England, 1584: fear of Catholic conspiracy is spreading following the assassination of William of Orange, while plague casts its shadow over London. Bruno's already dangerous life takes a deeply personal turn when Sophia Underhill, the woman he once loved, reappears. She is on the run, accused of murdering her husband, and desperately needs Bruno's help.
With the permission of Queen Elizabeth's spymaster, Bruno travels to Canterbury, determined to prove Sophia's innocence. But further brutal killings reveal that far more is at stake than one woman's fate. His investigation leads into the shadows of Canterbury Cathedral and towards a blood-soaked relic at the centre of a powerful conspiracy. Rich in Tudor atmosphere, religious tension and political intrigue, Sacrilege combines murder mystery and espionage with a compelling personal story of loyalty, love and betrayal.
