From the rear cover
"A taut, seedy novella scraped off the undercarriage of Elizabethan England." Arena
It is 1593 and London is a city on edge. Under threat from plague and war, strangers are unwelcome and severed heads grin from spikes on Tower Bridge. Tamburlaine Must Die is the story of the last days of the playwright Christopher Marlowe, a man who dares to defy both God and state - and discovers that there are worse fates than damnation . . . "Elizabethan England has never seemed so beguilingly immediate ... Every vignette, every minor character, every sight, sound and smell, has the ring of truth." Sunday Telegraph "Pungently atmospheric." Observer "Tamburlaine Must Die sets the seal on Welsh's skills as a writer. She weaves fact and fiction into a compelling plot not for the faint-hearted." Scotland on Sunday "Bold, imaginative, vibrant." Daily Telegraph "A page-turner to the very end." Sunday Herald
