About this product

Product Information

Summer, 1546. King Henry VIII is slowly, painfully dying. His Protestant and Catholic councillors are engaged in a final and decisive power struggle; whoever wins will control the government of Henry's successor, eight-year-old Prince Edward. As heretics are hunted across London, and the radical Protestant Anne Askew is burned at the stake, the Catholic party focus their attack on Henry's sixth wife, Matthew Shardlake's old mentor, Queen Catherine Parr. Shardlake, still haunted by events aboard the warship Mary Rose the year before, is working on the Cotterstoke Will case, a savage dispute between rival siblings. Then, unexpectedly, he is summoned to Whitehall Palace and asked for help by his old patron, the now beleaguered and desperate Queen. For Catherine Parr has a secret. She has written a confessional book, Lamentation of a Sinner, so radically Protestant that if it came to the King's attention it could bring both her and her sympathizers crashing down. But, although the book was kept secret and hidden inside a locked chest in the Queen's private chamber, it has - inexplicably - vanished. Only one page has been found, clutched in the hand of a murdered London printer. Shardlake's investigations take him on a trail that begins among the backstreet printshops of London but leads him and Jack Barak into the dark and labyrinthine world of the politics of the royal court; a world he had sworn never to enter again. 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. The theft of Queen Catherine's book proves to be connected to the terrible death of Anne Askew, while his involvement with the Cotterstoke litigants threatens to bring Shardlake himself to the stake.

    Fabulous read

    Absolutely excellent read. The content is so interesting it is difficult to put down. It is the 6th book by this author, sadly no longer with us. Each has been written to take us back to the period which they cover. It’s like being there. I’m glad I’m not. Life was very different of course. The plot, or plots hold my attention and as I’ve said it is difficult to put down.

  • What might have been. Lamentation sums it up well.

    This is the last of a 6 book series. If you are interested in Tudor England then you will be drawn in by the story lines based around actual characters of the time. I learned a great deal from the authors research much of which had never crossed my mind. Terrific reads I had to get them all.

  • An Excellent Read. A Fascinating look into Tudor Times.

    Great Author. Great Story. Couldn't put the book down. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

  • Lamentation is a must read for anyone who has read the others in the series.

    Like the previous Matthew Shardlake stories, this one evokes the very frightening times of the late reign of king Henry the eighth. The fear is spread throughout England and to every level of society; from the queen to the lowliest of people, all live in fear of their religious beliefs becoming the cause of their death by hanging, or worse! A most captivating story, written with the skill and historical knowledge only C. J. Sansom can muster.

  • Utterly brilliant

    We had the series in paperback, this purchase to complete the set in hardback as it's a keeper. The books get better and better each time. It's well worth persevering with the first book. Why this isn't a major TV series I will never know.
