Starring Thomas Treviot, each novel in this thrilling new series of
historical mysteries is based on a real unsolved Tudor crime. 1536.
In the corrupt heart of Tudor London a killer waits in the
shadows... The Real Crime Before dawn on a misty November morning
in 1536, prominent mercer Robert Packington was gunned down as he
crossed Cheapside on his way to early morning mass. It was the
first assassination by handgun in the history of the capital and
subsequently shook the city to its core. The identity of his
assassin has remained a mystery. Our Story Thomas Treviot is a
young London goldsmith and a close family friend of Robert
Packington. Through his own upstanding social connections - and
some less upstanding acquaintances he has made along the way -
Thomas launches a dramatic investigation into Packington's death.
As Thomas searches for revenge, he must travel from the golden
heart of merchant London, to the straw-covered backstreets of
London's poorest districts before reaching the country's seat of
power: the court of King Henry VIII. Before long he is drawn into a
dark conspiracy beyond his wildest imaginings and claiming justice
for his friend starts to look impossible. Especially when Thomas
realises that Robert wasn't the man he thought he knew... In the
first of a new series investigating real unsolved Tudor crimes,
D.K. Wilson brings the streets of Tudor London to spectacular life
as Thomas Treviot faces a fight to bring the truth to light in the
corrupt world of Anne Boleyn, Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII.
