  The No. 1 bestseller - perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom and The Name of the Rose. The sixth historical thriller featuring Giordano Bruno, heretic, philosopher and spy.

  Prague, 1588
  
  Giordano Bruno, heretic-turned-spy, arrives in Prague at the court of the eccentric Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, with an assignment. John Dee has sent word to England of a discovery with terrible implications for Elizabeth, and Bruno must find out more.
  
  But when Bruno arrives in the city, he learns that the Emperor's favourite alchemist has been found murdered, his body mutilated. Many point the finger at the Jewish Quarter, where it is rumoured that Rabbi Loew has created a monstrous Golem, with which he intends to terrorise and murder Christian citizens.
  
  When a young Jewish scholar is found slain in the same way, Bruno suspects the murders are connected to the political plot he was tasked with uncovering. But his enemies are closing in, and Bruno must uncover the killer in time to save Christendom, or risk becoming a victim of the `Golem' himself...
