About this product

Product Information

C. J. Sansom's bestselling adventures of Matthew Shardlake continue in the fourth title of the series, Revelation. Remarkable. . . . The sights, the voices, the very smell of this turbulent age seem to rise from the page. P.D. James Spring, 1543. King Henry VIII is wooing Lady Catherine Parr, whom he wants for his sixth wife. But this time the object of his affections is resisting. Archbishop Cranmer and the embattled Protestant faction at court are watching keenly, for Lady Catherine is known to have reformist sympathies. Matthew Shardlake, meanwhile, is working on the case of a teenage boy, a religious maniac locked in the Bedlam hospital for the insane. Should he be released to his parents, when his terrifying actions could lead to him being burned as a heretic? When an old friend is horrifically murdered Shardlake promises his widow, for whom he has long had complicated feelings, to bring the killer to justice. His search leads him to both Cranmer and Catherine Parr - and with the dark prophecies of the Book of Revelation. As London's Bishop Bonner prepares a purge of Protestants Shardlake, together with his assistant, Jack Barak, and his friend, Guy Malton, follow the trail of a series of horrific murders that shake them to the core, and which are already bringing frenzied talk of witchcraft and a demonic possession - for what else would the Tudor mind make of a serial killer . . .?

  • Compelling and intriguing yet very realistic.

    Another excellent 'Shardlake' novel. The suspense starts immediately and builds progressively to the dramatic conclusion; along with such a well described setting makes for a totally absorbing read.

    Gripping story, well written. Even if you have not read any CJ Sansom before you can just pick this up a start. Follow this up with the book Heartstone. Am now ordering another couple as I want to read more.
