England, 1584. Sophia Underhill, the woman Bruno once loved, arrives in London accused of murdering her husband. Convinced that she has been framed, Bruno travels to Canterbury with Walsingham’s reluctant permission and begins investigating the victim’s household and the cathedral community.

Further deaths lead him towards disputes over relics, faith and the restoration of Catholic power. In a city whose religious identity has been repeatedly remade by the Reformation, Bruno must expose the killer while protecting Sophia from officials prepared to accept a convenient conviction.
