About Traitor's Legacy:
England, 1598. Queen Elizabeth’s successor remains unnamed. The country teeters on a knife
edge.
When a young heiress is found murdered at the theatre, the Queen’s spymaster Robert Cecil calls
upon former agent Sophia de Wolfe to investigate.
A cryptic note found on the dead girl’s body connects to Sophia’s previous life as a spy, and her
quest soon takes her into dangerous waters. Powerful enemies emerge, among them the Earl of
Essex: the Queen’s favourite courtier and a man of ruthless ambition.
This is a murder that reaches directly into the heart of the court. And Sophia is concealing a deep
buried secret of her own. She must uncover the truth before her past threatens to destroy her.
No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller S. J. Parris is the pseudonym of the author and journalist Stephanie Merritt. It was as a student at Cambridge researching a paper on the period that Stephanie first became fascinated by the rich history of Tudor England and Renaissance Europe. Since then, her interest has grown and led her to create this series of historical thrillers featuring Giordano Bruno, which has now sold over one million copies.
Stephanie has worked as a critic and feature writer for a variety of newspapers and magazines, as well as radio and television. She has also written the contemporary psychological thrillers While You Sleep and Storm under her own name. She currently writes for the Observer, and she lives in Surrey.
