About the book

An intellectual thriller set in Oxford in the 1660s, this novel is centred on a suspicious death, that of Robert Grove, fellow of New College. We hear from four witnesses: a Venetian Catholic; the son of a supposed traitor; the chief cryptographer to Cromwell; and Anthony Wood, the antiquary.
