A sixteenth century historical whodunit based on the real life adventures of Doctor Giordano Bruno of Nola. Bruno, ex-communicated from his faith for the heinous crime of being caught reading Erasmus on the privy has been on the run from the papist inquisition for years. He arrives in England only to be recruited into the service of Queen Elizabeth I.
Bruno – attached to a royal party - travels to Oxford University ostensibly to debate Copernican theory. His real mission is twofold, to investigate whispers of a Catholic plot against Elizabeth and to track down an ancient heretical text rumoured to be in Oxford.
Before Bruno can begin his investigation, a series of murders shakes Lincoln College to its foundations and the murderer seems to be pointing Bruno towards the answers he seeks. But Bruno will learn to his cost that Oxford is full of secrets and betrayal.
