Awarded the CWA Diamond Dagger - the highest honor in British crime
writing From the bestselling author of Winter in Madrid and
Dominion comes the exciting and elegantly written first novel in
the Matthew Shardlake Tudor Mystery series Dissolution is an
utterly riveting portrayal of Tudor England. The year is 1537, and
the country is divided between those faithful to the Catholic
Church and those loyal to the king and the newly established Church
of England. When a royal commissioner is brutally murdered in a
monastery on the south coast of England, Thomas Cromwell, Henry
VIII's feared vicar general, summons fellow reformer Matthew
Shardlake to lead the inquiry. Shardlake and his young protege
uncover evidence of sexual misconduct, embezzlement, and treason,
and when two other murders are revealed, they must move quickly to
prevent the killer from striking again. A "remarkable debut" (P. D.
James), Dissolution introduces a thrilling historical series that
is not to be missed by fans of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies.
