Murder and mayhem on the almost open seas of Elizabeth I reign. Sir Francis Drake is eager to be gone on his next voyage assaulting Spanish galleons in the name of the queen and his own fortune but he is delayed by a suicide/murder on his ship. Bad luck for Drake but it could mean good luck for a British nobleman who yearns for adventure and his best friend, a heretic philosopher with a knack for solving mysteries. A well researched, authentic tale with all the corruption, political backstabbing, and danger of Queen Elizabeth's court. Giordano Bruno is the mysterious smart sidekick to the endearing Sir Philip Sidney and their witty banter as well as the intricate mystery makes the over 500-page saga a treasure. For fans of Hillary Mantel and C.J. Sansom.
