More about the book
It's 1541, and a year has passed since the beheading of Thomas Cromwell. Matthew Shardlake had been pulled unwillingly by Cromwell into two mortally dangerous plots (DISSOLUTION and DARK FIRE), but any hopes he now has that those days are behind him are dashed when he is summoned to meet Archbishop Cranmer, now King Henry VIII?s right hand man. Cranmer wants Shardlake to take care of a few routine matters in York, towards which place the King is approaching with five thousand horses, one thousand wagons, one thousand soldiers, and all their retinue? the largest Royal progress of Tudor times? to terrify the recently-rebellious northerners. Shardlake and his companion Barak have barely arrived at York before they are caught up in a bloody and brutal murder?
