The Devil's Looking-Glass

1593: The dreaded alchemist, black magician and spy Dr John Dee is missing...
Fear sweeps through the court of Queen Elizabeth, for in Dee's possession is an obsidian mirror, an object of great power which legend says could set the world afire.

A plot that races like a flaming whippet on crack...darkly ingenious...hugely entertaining...streets ahead of most works in this genre

Smart, fun, at times surprisingly moving, and occasionally downright shocking...impossible to put down
