The Reckoning: The Murder of Christopher MarloweThis is a story of the Elizabethan underworld.

Critical new evidence is uncovered about his three companions on that last day in Deptford. Through Charles Nicholl's detailed research, a complex, unsettling story of entrapment and betrayal, chimerical plots and dirty tricks emerges. |
