In England, 1583, a country awash with paranoia and conspiracy, Giordano Bruno, a radical monk, flees the Inquisition and seeks refuge in the court of Elizabeth I. There, he attracts the attention of Francis Walsingham, chief spymaster and sworn enemy of Catholic plotters. Bruno is sent undercover to Oxford, where the university is believed to be a hotbed of Catholic dissent. Soon he is drawn into college intrigues and distracted by a beautiful young woman. A series of hideous murders rock college life, each linked by a letter offering clues. The letters suggest that each victim was guilty of heresy. But is Bruno being aided or misled - or is he himself the next target? Giordano Bruno realizes that even the wise cannot always tell truth from heresy, and some are prepared to kill for it.
