Judges notes:
An engrossing cat-and-mouse thriller from start to finish. Set in seventeenth-century Rome, the story follows a detective questioning his role as he chases a conspiracy of poisoners, interrogating the idea of criminal acts and victimhood along the way. The author guides it all with an expert hand, right through to the shocking ending.
