Heresy is the first in a series.The Accidental Highwayman: Being the Tale of Kit Bristol, His Horse Midnight, a Mysterious Princess, and Sundry Magical Persons Besides by Ben Tripp From Cobbett the gatekeeper to the complex Bruno himself, Parris pours extraordinary care and human insight into her creations. Best of all, though, are Heresy’s characters.
Plus, the climax is harrowing and full of surprises. There are gothic elements aplenty: cowl-hidden figures at candlelit midnight meetings, tower rooms, priest holes. The historical setting is rich in detail but does not overpower the story. Heresy has all the elements of a great medieval mystery. In the end, and it looks very much like the end of him as well, Bruno unmasks the killer and emerges an ambivalent hero. His hunt leads him into the heart of the clandestine Catholic community. The college’s rector appeals to Bruno for help. Three murders happen in quick succession, but they are not just murders they are grizzly symbols left by a too-clever killer. The second is the meat of the story.Īnd it is as colorful, multi-layered, and criminally creative a story as any mystery lover could wish for. The first gambit ends in monumental failure in a scene that Parris portrays brilliantly. The visit’s overt purpose is to debate philosophy with local dons, the covert purpose to gather intelligence about subversive Catholic activity. The story begins in 1583 as Bruno arrives at Oxford University, a visit he actually made. Parris, creates a new persona for this medieval scholar – he is to be an agent in the pay of Elizabeth’s own spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham. He was burned at the stake in Rome in 1600 for supporting Copernicus’s heliocentric theory and for proposing that the universe is infinite.
The name Giordano Bruno is carved deep into the gravestone of Inquisition heretics.
