While a massive French fleet prepares to attack, every able-bodied man is being pressed into military service. Meanwhile, an old servant of Queen Catherine Parr asks Shardlake to investigate claims of "monstrous wrongs" committed against a young ward of the court.

  • Good historical novel.

    Good story if you like historical novels as I do. It keeps your attention on the story and makes you want to read more about this era. I have all the author's other books as once I started on them, I had to have the rest of his works.
