The Dead of Winter Résumé

The Dead of Winter: Three Giordano Bruno Novellas S. J. Parris

Three gripping tales from No.1 Sunday Times bestseller S. J. Parris.

The Secret Dead
During the summer of 1566, a girl's body is found within the walls of a Neapolitan monastery. Novice monk Giordano Bruno has a habit of asking difficult questions, but this time his investigations may lose him his place in the Dominican Order - or deliver him into the hands of the Inquisition.

The Academy of Secrets
An invitation arrives from a secret society of enlightened philosophers, led by the eccentric Don Giambattista della Porta. Bruno is captivated - even more so when he meets della Porta's beautiful niece. But keeping these new heretical secrets soon becomes a matter of life or death...

A Christmas Requiem
When Giordano Bruno is told the pope wants to see him, he fears he may be walking into a trap. The pope is intrigued by Bruno's talent for complex memory games, but Rome is a den of intrigue, trickery and blood, and Bruno will be lucky to escape the Eternal City alive.

*Please note these three novellas are also published as individual stories in ebook.*
