Cambridge, 1583. About to graduate from Corpus Christi, the young Christopher Marlowe spends his days studying Virgil and Aristotle, and his nights carousing with old friends. But when one of them, Ralph Whittingside, is discovered lying dead in his King's College room, mouth open in a silent scream, Marlowe refuses to accept the official verdict of suicide.
Calling on the help of his mentor, Sir Roger Manwood, Justice of the Peace, and Dr John Dee, a man who knows more of poisons than anyone else, Marlowe sets out to prove that his boyhood friend was murdered. But, if Whittingside did not die by his own hand, who was responsible?

"Pretty entertaining! I love Marlowe, so I'm biased toward anything that involves him, but this was truly a fun little read. The mystery kept me guessing, the atmosphere was good, and the characters are fun." — Jenn (4 out of 5 stars)

" An okay mystery, but a pretty unlikeable protagonist and indistinct characterizations of most of the Cambridge set otherwise. "
" I really liked this book. It is set in 1583 in Cambridge, UK. It is a good mystery, well written, well researched. I enjoyed the time period. "
