Description
Ritual of Fire by D. V. Bishop is a historical thriller set in Renaissance Italy. In the sweltering summer of 1538, a wealthy merchant is brutally murdered and set ablaze in Florence's main square, sparking a wave of fear and destruction. The killing is eerily reminiscent of the execution of Girolamo Savonarola 40 years earlier, leading to a chilling revival of the monk's regime of holy terror. As the city teeters on the brink of madness, Officer Cesare Aldo and Constable Carlo Strocchi must work together to unravel the mystery behind the killings. With the rich fleeing to their country estates and the Tuscan hills becoming increasingly treacherous, the stakes are high. Meanwhile, a stalker is targeting powerful men who forged lifelong bonds in the dark days of Savonarola, threatening to consume all of Florence in an inferno of death and destruction. D. V. Bishop masterfully weaves together themes of religion, lust, and politics to create a gripping and atmospheric thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
