Joshua Cross's enemy, Leirtod, is back with a vengeance
Swept back to 1590s London and placed in the care of Dr Dee, the Queen's Conjuror, mathematician, astrologer, and occasional dabbler in the occult, Joshua soon discovers that his friend Dido is in mortal danger.
With Dee's aid Joshua must reach her before Leirtod does and death is dealt. Dee however is surrounded by his own demons: spies set up to burn him for his Catholic sympathies.
This is an action packed novel that treads the dark side of the Elizabethan court where treachery and intrigue abound.
