Ritual of Fire by D V Bishop
Set during a scorching Italian summer in which a series of ritual killings are shocking the city, Ritual of Fire is a historical crime novel set in 1530s Renaissance Florence and is the sequel to City of Vengeance and The Darkest Sin by D. V. Bishop.
He is fast becoming a serious rival to CJ. Sansom and S. J. Parris with his page-turning novels. Highly recommended * Historical Novel Society *
