The eagerly anticipated new Shardlake novel from the number one bestselling author. Matthew Shardlake investigates the theft of Catherine Parr’s secret confessional book, one page of which was found clutched in the hand of a murdered printer. Loyalty to the Queen will drive him into a swirl of intrigue inside Whitehall Palace, where Catholic enemies and Protestant friends can be equally dangerous, and the political opportunists, who will follow the wind wherever it blows, more dangerous than either.
