More about the book

This book is the first full-length investigation of the killing of brilliant, controversial young playwright Christopher Marlowe in 1593. It traces Marlowe's shadowy political dealings, his involvement in covert intelligence work, and the charges of heresy and homosexuality against him. Charles Nicholl penetrates four centuries of obscurity to expose not only a complex and unsettling story of entrapment and betrayal, chimerical plots and sordid felonies, but also a fascinating vision of the underside of an entire culture
