Publisher Notes

In 1593 the brilliant but controversial young playwright Christopher Marlowe was stabbed to death in a Deptford lodging house. The circumstances were shady. Nicholls penetrates four centuries of obscurity to reveal a complex story of entrapment and betrayal. Winner of the Crime Writer's Gold Dagger Award for a nonfiction thriller.

Media Reviews

"The rich substance of the book is his detail, the thick texture of betrayal and evasion which was Marlowe's life."
