Description
Christopher Marlowe's life was cut short in 1593, his death shrouded in mystery. For over four centuries, the official account of his murder - a violent quarrel over a bill - has been widely disputed. In "The Reckoning", Charles Nicholl uncovers new evidence that challenges this narrative, revealing a complex web of entrapment and betrayal. Nicholl's investigation into Marlowe's shadowy past exposes a dark underworld of Elizabethan crime and espionage, known as the "secret theatre". This is a story of espionage, betrayal, and murder, one that has been hidden in plain sight for far too long. Through meticulous research and a deep understanding of the period, Nicholl sheds new light on a pivotal moment in history, one that continues to fascinate and unsettle us today.
