<b>Book 1 of the Apothecary Greene Trilogy</b><br>Little knowing that the unearthing of a medieval grave slab will propel him into the realm of waking nightmare, Richard Greene, apothecary, antiquarian and museum-keeper extraordinaire, is the sole witness to a sadistic murder.<br>Badly injured in the doomed attempt to save the victim of a fire universally believed to be a tragic accident, Greene emerges from lengthy convalescence only to be drawn into the coils of a demented and murderous search for vengeance enacted from beyond the grave and across generations; a pitiless ritual of retribution inflicted upon all who had sat in judgement upon England’s last heretic – the victim a crazed Anabaptist – sentenced to die a hideous death in the last judicial burning to stain English history.<br>Now, as the century of Enlightenment gathers pace around him, the terrors and obsessions of an earlier, darker time reach out to claim one final victim: the woman at the heart of Greene’s own life.<br>A final offering to sate the ravening hunger of ‘The Burning Zone’.
