Witch Hammer

When you’re tired of Cambridge, you’re tired of life. Kit Marlowe, scholar of Corpus Christi college and intelligencer for Francis Walsingham, the Queen’s spymaster, takes to the road for the third in the series about the crash-and-burn over-reacher who took the Elizabethan world by storm.

Kit joins Lord Strange’s acting troupe on tour in Warwickshire and is drawn into a dark and terrifying world in the most haunted county in the kingdom. The company’s actor-manager, Ned Sledd, is found brutally murdered and all the signs point to black magic.

Spying for her Majesty, working for his Cambridge degree and solving grisly murders on the road, Marlowe is a walking target for the witches of Meon Hill. Can the forces of light defeat the Dark One? And can the country bumpkin from Stratford called Will Shaksper be all he seems?

There is something in Witch Hammer for everyone. Wry humour, witches, theatre, intrigue, murder but most of all an impeccable evocation of Elizabethan time and place. Watch out for the characters in the Marlowe series and see if you can spot the real from the imaginary – it’s not as easy as you might think!
