Parris – Historical Novel Society Florence. Summer 1538. A night patrol finds a wealthy merchant hanged and set ablaze in the city’s main square.

Unless Aldo and Strocchi work together all of Florence will be consumed by an inferno of death and destruction. Ceremonial murder has returned to Florence. Only two men can end the destruction.
