November, 1583. Desperate not to let the Protestant Low Countries fall into the hands of the Catholic Spain, the Queen's spymaster, Francis Walsingham, orders Cambridge scholar and novie spy, Christopher Marlowe, to assist the beleaguered Dutch leader, William the Silent, whose court is a hotbed of intrigue and treachery. However, travelling in disguise as part of a troupe of Egyptian players, Marlowe encounters trouble even before he reaches Dutch shores. When the players make a detour to perform at the home of the Queen's magus, Dr John Dee, one of their tricks ends in tragedy - and an arrest for murder. Charged with protecting the Dutch leader from his enemies within, Marlowe determines to unmask a coldblooded killer much closer to home.

July, 1585. Desperate to escape Sir Francis Walsingham's clutches and pursue his chosen career as a professional playwright, the young Christopher Marlowe abandons his Cambridge studies to join Lord Strange's men, a group of travelling players. En route to perform at Oxford, the players are rehearsing amongst the famous Rollright Stones on the Warwickshire border when their efforts are interrupted by the discovery of the corpse of actor-manager Ned Sledd, found beneath the King's Stone, a silver-handled bodkin buried deep in his throat. Is it an act of witchcraft, a human sacrifice to mark the witches' festival of Lammastide? Or could the killer have a more personal reason to wish Sledd dead? Kit Marlowe determines to find out.

Witch Hammer

July, 1586. Sir Francis Walsingham has despatched Kit Marlowe to the English College, the school for exiled priests in Rheims, where he suspects the Catholic traitor Matthew Baxter is hiding, the only one of the Babington plotters to have escaped the spymaster's net. Infiltrating the college undercover, Marlowe learns that the community has been rocked by a series of unexplained and violent deaths. A scholar has fallen from a window under mysterious circumstances; the popular Father Laurenticus has been discovered dead in his bed, his throat slit from ear to ear. With the help of master codebreaker Thomas Phelippes, can Christopher Marlowe unearth a murderer, track down a traitor and extract himself from the scorpion's nest without being fatally stung?

March, 1587. Christopher Marlowe’s play Tamburlaine, has opened at the Rose Theatre. But the play is almost shut down on its opening night. For a member of the audience, Eleanor Merchant, lies dead, hit by a musket ball fired from the stage. The man with his finger on the trigger? A bit-part player named Will Shakespeare. Convinced of Shakespeare’s innocence, Marlowe determines to find out what really happened. When a second body is found floating in the River Thames, it becomes clear that Eleanor Merchant’s death was no accident, and that something deeper and darker is afoot. And why is the Queen’s spymaster, Sir Francis Walsingham, taking a close personal interest in the case?
