He is fast becoming a serious rival to C. J. Sansom and S. J. Parris with his page-turning novels. Highly recommendedHistorical Novel Society
A deft and engrossing historical thriller set in Renaissance Florence drawing on the fascinating and troubling legacy of Girolamo Savonarola. I thoroughly enjoyed the latest - and I think best - in DV Bishop's brilliant seriesAnna Mazzola, author of The Clockwork Girl
In Ritual of Fire, the third scintillating Cesare Aldo novel, D.V. Bishop once again immerses us in sixteenth-century Florence and the heady intrigues of Renaissance Italy. Aldo is a magnificent creationVaseem Khan, author of Midnight at Malabar House
