Description
The Crime Writers' Association Historical Dagger Winning Author
'Fast becoming a serious rival to C. J. Sansom and S. J. Parris' – Historical Novel Society
Florence. Autumn, 1539.
Cesare Aldo was once an officer for the city’s most feared criminal court. Following a period of exile, he is back but demoted to night patrol when only the drunk and the dangerous roam the streets.
Chasing a suspect in the rain, Aldo discovers a horrifying scene beneath Michelangelo’s statue of David. Lifeless eyes gaze from the face of a man whose body has been posed as if crucified. It’s clear the killer had religious motives.
When more bodies appear, Aldo believes an unholy murderer is stalking the citizens of Florence. Watching. Hunting. Waiting for the perfect moment to strike again . . .
A religious serial killer is haunting Florence and only Cesare Aldo can stop them. A Divine Fury is an atmospheric historical thriller by D. V. Bishop, set in Renaissance Italy.
A Divine Fury is the fourth Cesare Aldo mystery, preceded by City of Vengeance, The Darkest Sin and Ritual of Fire.
Advance Praise
"In A Divine Fury, D.V. Bishop leads us on another darkly atmospheric journey through Medici Florence, keeping us constantly on our toes. Who can we trust and whom should we run from? I look forward to finding out what Cesare Aldo does next." —S. G. MacLean, prize-winning author of the Seeker series
"D.V. Bishop has such tremendous flair for a thrilling plot, a gruesome mystery, and engaging, relatable characters. It keeps you hooked and guessing all the way to its conclusion. With contemporary relevance about secrecy, hidden lives and cover-ups, Bishop’s books are stories to lose yourself in, with all the sights, sounds and smells of 16C Florence. But above all, this is the very finest in historical thriller storytelling." — Kate Foster, author of The Maiden, Winner of the Bloody Scotland Crime Debut of the Year
"In Cesare Aldo Bishop gives us a Florentine Shardlake and this is his best escapade yet." — David Hewson, author of the Nic Costa series

Elizabeth R, Librarian
D.V. Bishop continues the adventures of Cesare Aldo in Florence 1539 as an investigator for the city courts. A series of brutal murders occur with a religious accent. Cesare also is reporting to Duke Cosimo de Medici, ruler of Florence about the murders and also the machinations of the Venetian spy mistress. Intrigue, churchly sweeping priestly misdeeds under the rug and daily difficulties of life for a gay man in Florence. Read this excellent historical adventure.
