‘Heresy has everything – intrigue, mystery, excellent history and haunting sense of place. The beginning of a wonderful new detective series’
Kate Mosse (bestselling author of Labyrinth)
‘Fascinating … The period is incredibly vivid and the story utterly gripping. Cadfael can’t hold a candle to this’
Conn Iggulden (bestselling author of Bones of the Hills and The Dangerous Book for Boys)
‘Heresy is a riveting read. Rich in both historical detail and ingenious twists, S. J. Parris has created a character in Giordano Bruno that will endure. A true rival to C. J. Sansom’ Sam Bourne (bestselling author of The Righteous Men)
‘Heresy is a must-read for every fan of historical thrillers. S. J. Parris transports the reader back to an extraordinary time in history by mobilizing fascinating details, suspense, and fully-drawn characters.

Guardian
‘The places and people are vividly described and the solution to this exciting, well-written tale comes as a real surprise’
