Sobre este áudio
From the award-winning Denise Mina comes a radical new take on one of the darkest episodes in Scottish history - the bloody murder of David Rizzio.
This breathtakingly tense work is a tale of sex, seduction, secrets and lies, one that looks at history through a modern lens and explores the lengths that men - and women - will go to in the search for love and power.
It's Saturday evening, 9th March 1566, and Mary, Queen of Scots, is six months pregnant. She's hosting a supper party. Outside, Edinburgh is bustling. It’s full of the great and the good and the idiot sons of the rich, here for a Parliament that will take Scotland by the shoulders and turn it from England to face Europe.
Mary doesn't know that her palace is surrounded - that, right now, an army of men is creeping upstairs to her chamber. They're coming to murder David Rizzio, her friend and secretary, the handsome Italian man who is smiling across the table at her. Mary's husband wants it done in front of her, and he wants her to watch it done....

"Best seller Mina vividly recreates a gruesome episode from the Tudor era in this searing novella set mostly over the course of a single day, Mar. 9, 1566. Mina interjects well-wrought characterisations; this superior historical thriller reads like a real-life episode of Game of Thrones." (Publishers Weekly)
"May be Britain's finest living crime novelist." (Daily Telegraph)
"The cream of the crop, an author who pushes the crime novel in new and exciting directions." (Ian Rankin)
