August, 1585.
England is on the brink of war...

Sir Francis Drake is preparing to launch a daring expedition against the Spanish when a murder aboard his ship changes everything.

A relentless enemy
Giordano Bruno is a heretic-turned-s py, now working on Queen Elizabeth’s behalf. He agrees to hunt the killer down, only to find that someone with a deadly grudge is shadowing his every move.

A treacherous conspiracy
More than one dangerous plot is afoot in Plymouth’s murky underworld. But as Bruno tracks a murderer through its crimeridden streets, he uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the future of England itself.

About the Author

S. J. Parris is the pseudonym of the author and journalist Stephanie Merritt. It was as a student at Cambridge researching a paper on the period that Stephanie first became fascinated by the rich history of Tudor England and Renaissance Europe. Since then, her interest has grown and led her to create this series of historical thrillers featuring Giordano Bruno.

Stephanie has worked as a critic and feature writer for a variety of newspapers and magazines, as well as radio and television. She currently writes for the Observer and the Guardian, and lives in Surrey with her son. Treachery is her seventh book.
