London, 1593. Plague, food shortages and fear of Spanish attack have made the capital volatile when a series of bombings targets the city’s Dutch immigrant community. John Shakespeare investigates the attacks as public hostility toward foreigners threatens to turn organised violence into wider disorder.
The inquiry leads through court entertainments, prisons and the theatrical world associated with Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd. Working under Robert Cecil, Shakespeare uncovers competing deceptions that place both the immigrant community and his own household in danger.
