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.

The Trial by Fire was supposed to take the heat out of an angry city but, after the spectacle descended into chaos, factions in Florence find themselves further apart than ever.
