Praise for Prophecy: 'Parris writes with confident ease of Elizabeth's courtiers, Catholic plots and astrological portents! More, please' The Times 'Impossible to resist' Telegraph 'Prophecy gives a fascinating and brilliantly unusual glimpse of the lethal intrigues surrounding the Virgin Queen on the throne of England. The novel is not just vividly written and firmly grounded in the period: best of all, it's narrated with dramatic immediacy and gives us a unique slant on the personalities, controversies and politics of the time' Andrew Taylor, bestselling author of The American Boy Praise for Heresy: 'Heresy has everything -- intrigue, mystery, excellent history and haunting sense of place. The beginning of a wonderful new detective series' Kate Mosse 'Fascinating ! The period is incredibly vivid and the story utterly gripping' 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) 'Parris paces her yarn perfectly' Daily Telegraph 'An atmospheric and well-written historical thriller' Guardian 'Parris succeeds where much historical fiction fails' Observer 'The places and people are vividly described with a merciful absence of period language, and the solution to this exciting, well-written tale comes as a real surprise' Literary Review
