«Q» is the novel of ideas and thriller by Luther Blissett, published by William Heinemann in hardback (528 pages, in English).
In sixteenth-century Europe, a theology student moves away from orthodoxy and becomes involved in the revolts of the Reformation. His path crosses that of Q, a papal envoy who hunts dissidents; the duel to discover the other's identity becomes a pursuit with no way out.
The novel was translated from the Italian by Shaun Whiteside. This is the first British edition, published in 2003.
For readers of historical fiction and intellectual thrillers, especially those seeking intrigue in the sixteenth-century wars of religion.
Luther Loide Blissett is a former professional footballer and manager who played for the England national football team during the 1980s. Born in Jamaica, Blissett played as a forward, and is best known for his time at Watford, whom he helped win promotion from the Fourth Division to the First Division. Blissett set Watford's records for appearances and goals, having played 503 games and scored 186 goals, and was the top goalscorer in the 1982–83 Football League First Division as he led Watford to second-place. He was also one of the first black players to represent England. Blissett was capped 14 times by England, scoring a hat-trick on his debut. After retiring from playing, Blissett turned to coaching, initially under the management of Graham Taylor at Watford, and managed Chesham United from 2006 until 2007.
