|title=The Heresy of Dr Dee
|rating=5
|genre=Historical Fiction
|summary=The year is 1560, and there is talk of the end of time. The rumours which are even more rife, though, are those concerning the death of Amy Dudley. Did Lord Robert Dudley have his wife killed to allow him to marry Queen Elizabeth I? Even Dudley's friend Doctor John Dee doesn't seem convinced of his innocence. Dee has other problems, though - he's told the queen that he has a shewstone, a crystal with mystical properties, and he desperately needs to find one. With Dudley accompanying him, he sets of to the Welsh borders in pursuit of one such stone, but the land of Dee's father is a dangerous place. With politics and religion causing tension, and the possible reappearance of a Welsh brigand from nearly two centuries previous, can Dee and Dudley survive?
