Description
In the volatile spring of 1543, as King Henry VIII sets his sights on Lady Catherine Parr, a woman of reformist leanings, Matthew Shardlake finds himself entangled in a disturbing case involving a young man confined to Bedlam for his fervent religious beliefs. When a close friend's brutal murder shatters his world, Shardlake vows to uncover the truth, a quest that draws him into the orbits of Archbishop Cranmer and Lady Catherine herself. As London braces for a purge of Protestants, Shardlake and his loyal companions, Jack Barak and Guy Malton, are drawn into a terrifying investigation of serial killings that ignite fears of witchcraft and demonic possession, forcing them to confront the darkest aspects of human nature amidst the looming shadow of the Book of Revelation.
