Product Information
An Elizabethan espionage thriller in which playwright Christopher Marlowe spies on Mary, Queen of Scots while navigating the perils of politics, theater, romance--and murder. England, 1585. In Kit Marlowe's last year at Cambridge, he is approached by Queen Elizabeth's spymaster offering an unorthodox career opportunity: going undercover to intercept a Catholic plot to put Mary, Queen of Scots on Elizabeth's throne. Spying on Queen Mary turns out to be more than Kit bargained for, but his salary allows him to mount his first play, and over the following years he becomes the toast of London's raucous theater scene. But when Kit finds himself reluctantly drawn back into the world of espionage and treason, he realizes everything he's worked so hard to attain--including the trust of the man he loves--could vanish in an instant. Pairing modern language with period detail, Allison Epstein brings Elizabeth's lavish court, Marlowe's colorful theater troupe, and the squalor of sixteenth-century London to vivid, teeming life. At the center of the action is Kit himself--an irrepressible, irreverent force of nature.

Reviews
"Debut author Allison Epstein delivers an absolute tour de force in A Tip for the Hangman . This masterfully researched, beautifully written novel takes the reader inside the spy networks, taverns, theatres, and halls of power of Tudor England, with the irreverent Christopher Marlowe as our guide. Epstein is a talent to watch, and A Tip for the Hangman is not to be missed!" --Alyssa Palombo, author of The Borgia Confessions "Allison Epstein's stunning debut creates its own genre: hard-boiled Elizabethan noir. Her imaginative take on Christopher Marlowe is virtuoso on many levels. The historical details are precisely placed yet never overwhelming, and her London is perfectly rendered in all its pungence and pageantry. But the double-crossing, the moral ambiguity, and the bloodlust all give fresh legs to a literary mystery that has as much Philip as Kit Marlowe in it. With equal ease, Epstein can describe Whitehall backstabbing and bawdy pub brawls, the sign of a gifted writer who is in command of her prodigious talent." --Lee Irby, author of Unreliable, "Allison Epstein's stunning debut creates its own genre: hard-boiled Elizabethan noir. Her imaginative take on Christopher Marlowe is virtuoso on many levels. The historical details are precisely placed yet never overwhelming, and her London is perfectly rendered in all its pungence and pageantry. But the double-crossing, the moral ambiguity, and the bloodlust all give fresh legs to a literary mystery that has as much Philip as Kit Marlowe in it. With equal ease, Epstein can describe Whitehall backstabbing and bawdy pub brawls, the sign of a gifted writer who is in command of her prodigious talent." --Lee Irby, author of Unreliable, "Epstein presents Marlowe as supremely capable, something of a trickster, a consummate liar, a fiendish lover - and someone capable of murder . . . The suspense is palpable, as is the sense of doom, as Marlowe finds himself in thrall to a devil''s bargain." --The New York Times Book Review "Allison Epstein pens a vivid, unforgettable hero in Kit Marlowe, Elizabethan playwright-turned-spy always sprinting one step ahead of disaster and talking a blue streak as he does so. Recruited by Elizabeth I''s spymaster to infiltrate the cabal of Mary Queen of Scots, Kit finds his conscience tested to the limit even as his heart yearns for an unattainable beloved. A Tip for the Hangman is simultaneously moving, unsettling, hilarious, and tragic--a debut that will linger long after the last page is turned." --Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Alice Network "[Epstein''s] fizzy debut is a Tudor espionage tale, set among spies close to Mary, Queen of Scots. One of them is Christopher Marlowe, whose spy work bankrolls a rather promising theater career. It''s more of a clever Netflix binge than a Hilary Mantel historical masterpiece -- and that''s perfectly fine." --The Chicago Tribune, 25 Books We Can''t Wait to Read in 2021 "In Epstein''s fun, irreverent debut, [Christopher Marlowe] takes center stage in a spy thriller. The real Marlowe''s plays were incredibly popular in his time, due to his use of exciting plot twists and lots of murder. Epstein presents Marlowe''s story here as the playwright may have told it himself: full of adventure, fun . . . and murder." --BookRiot "Stunning. With wit and humor, Epstein expertly weaves in authentic social, political and religious details, creating a compelling and evocative story that soars. Fans of thrilling historical fiction will be highly engaged by this fast-paced read." --Susanna Calkins, author of the award-winning Lucy Campion historical mysteries "Debut author Allison Epstein delivers an absolute tour de force.

Epstein successfully evokes both the beauty and the brutality of 16th-century England." --Historical Novel Society "Anyone who likes Elizabethan bad boys, theater, spies, high intrigue, suspense, and sex is going to be delighted by A Tip for the Hangman . The writing goes down like a pint of good ale on a hot day and the characters are excellent company to enjoy it with. Christopher Marlowe himself would have loved it. I certainly did." --Delia Sherman, author of The Porcelain Dove "The Christopher Marlowe book we''ve been waiting for! Here is the sexy, witty, self-destructive genius who can''t stay out of trouble, blazing through an Elizabethan period that comes vividly to life in Epstein''s well-researched novel. Epstein''s sentences shine, with nothing fussy or ''Ye Olde'' about them. More than once I was stopped dead by a sentence that nailed me in my tracks with its insight and clarity." --Ellen Kushner, author of Swordspoint, "Allison Epstein pens a vivid, unforgettable hero in Kit Marlowe, Elizabethan playwright-turned-spy always sprinting one step ahead of disaster and talking a blue streak as he does so.
