This novel centres on the famous 16th-century alchemist and astrologer John Dee. Reputedly a black magician, he was imprisoned by Queen Mary for allegedly attempting to kill her through sorcery. When Matthew Palmer inherits an old house in Clerkenwell, he feels that he has become part of its past.

Found this a bit heavy going in places, but I did enjoy the different timelines and the twist in the tale. The house was depicted so well it seemed real
