Inquisitor
Only players on a stage. Thaddeus worked his way to the top of his profession. As an inquisitor to the Doge, he enjoyed all the comforts middle-classed Venice had to offer. That is until he was saddled with the sniveling scribe from Padua, Geovanni. Now his life had taken a turn for the bizarre. Given the impossible task of discovering the source of a strange plague, the inquisitor and scribe have been banished from Venice until a resolution is ferreted out. Strangeness stalks the land, and it isn't the Turks. The pair's first task is to reach the infected town of Udine intact. Will they be able to find the source, and return? Will they survive? Read the first book Inquisitor, in the Thaddeus of Venice trilogy, to find out.

I really loved the story. The characters were realistically portrayed and the scenes of the countryside visual enough for me to picture them. I've studied the era myself, and found no glaring flaw in the setting.
It's an adventure story and an unlikely buddies tale. Thaddeus the inquisitor doesn't trust Giovanni the scribe and wonders if there's some punishment that the two of them are being sent to find a "witch" causing problems in a distant village. Giovanni parrots the Church teachings of the time - that anything questionable is to be blamed on the Devil and his minions. Thaddeus, having seen firsthand that witches are often innocent had the growing feeling that there are no such things and to privately question his faith.
The adventures on which the two embark are filled with unexplainables that really do seem spiritual or demonic in nature. It's a first book.
My highest compliment is given. When I finished reading, I pre-ordered the next one. You should start the journey too.
