Product Information
In an age of treachery and turmoil, brutal murder brings the ultimate test of faith ... A first-rate murder mystery Independent on Sunday Shardlake is a character to treasure James Naughtie, Sunday Times Terrific. Historical fiction at its finest Peter Robinson Henry VIII has proclaimed himself Supreme Head of the Church and the country is waking up to savage new laws, rigged trials and the greatest network of informers ever seen. Under the order of Thomas Cromwell, a team of commissioners is sent through the country to investigate the monasteries. There can only be one outcome: the monasteries are to be dissolved. But on the Sussex coast, at the monastery of Scarnsea, events have spiralled out of control. Cromwell's Commissioner Robin Singleton, has been found dead, his head severed from his body. His horrific murder is accompanied by equally sinister acts of sacrilege - a black cockerel sacrificed on the alter, and the disappearance of Scarnsea's Great Relic. Dr Matthew Shardlake, lawyer and long-time supporter of Reform, has been sent by Cromwell into this atmosphere of treachery and death. But Shardlake's investigation soon forces him to question everything he hears, and everything that he intrinsically believes ... Dissolution is the first in the phenomenal Shardlake series by bestselling author, C. J. Sansom, followed by Dark Fire, Sovereign, Revelation, Heartstone and Lamentation.Product Identifiers

Dissolution - a wonderful introduction to history in the life and times of the Tudors .
i have now read all the Shardlake series and although Dissolution was the first, I read it last and to my mind it is the best. So sad there does not seem to be any more - I would like to salute c j Sansome for his wonderful writing - did not like history at school but these stories brought English history to life, wonderful.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
