Philip Rickman Knihy

Píše se rok 1560 a mladá Alžběta I. vládne teprve rok. Její astrolog a rádce, doktor John Dee, je nečekaně pověřen závažným úkolem: musí se vydat do staroslavného Glastonbury a zjistit, kde se nacházejí kosti krále Artuše, Alžbětina legendárního předka. Kdo by mohl mít zájem dokázat, že jsou podvržené? Co skrývají mniši v opatství, které založil sám Josef Arimatejský, strážce svatého Grálu? Doktor Dee zjišťuje, že věci mezi nebem a zemí nejsou ani zdaleka tak nebezpečné, jako lidská touha po moci.

The Revd Merrily Watkins had never wanted a picture-postcard parish - or a huge and haunted vicarage. Nor had she particularly wanted to walk straight into a local dispute over a controversial play about a strange seventeeth-century clergyman accused of witchcraft ... a story that certain old-established families would rather remained obscure. But this is Ledwardine, steeped in cider and secrets. A paradise of cobbled streets and timber-framed houses. And also - as Merrily and her teenage daughter Jane discover - a village where horrific murder is a tradition that spans centuries.
