A Divine Fury

A Divine Fury by D.V. Bishop is the fourth book in a historical mystery series featuring Aldo Cesare, a policeman in Renaissance Florence. In A Divine Fury, he’s been demoted to constable and is mainly on duty at night, enforcing Florence’s curfew rules, when a series of killings kicks off. As with many historical mysteries, the book combines an interesting and informative backdrop (this is the Florence of Cosimo I de’ Medici, who features in the book) with a distinctly 21st-century sensibility on the part of the main characters.
