About this title

Review:

"A suitably labyrinthine plot... Above all, it is King's sheer gift for storytelling that makes Ex Libris such an enjoyable read." -- "The Oxford Times" "Highly original and very clever indeed." -- "Manchester Evening News" "An exquisite historical thriller and a story which twists and turns like the beautifully-evoked back streets of 17th century London." -- "Yorkshire Evening Post" "Ross King is a master craftsman of extravagant melodrama." -- "Irish Times" "From the Trade Paperback edition."

From the Publisher:

Following the huge success of Brunelleschi's Dome and Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, Vintage re-issue Ross King's two fantastic historical crime novels, Ex Libris and Domino, with a sumptuous new jacket treatment. Irresistible.
