This five-part serial from award-winning crime writer Denise Mina takes a dark, contemporary look at Renaissance-era Florence. In a corrupt city riven by factionalism, wealth inequality and suffering from a rampant outbreak of plague, the pressure is building.

Following violent clashes between Savonarola's puritanical followers and the crooked rulers of Florence, a drastic solution is proposed in the interests of peace.
