Lawyer Matthew Shardlake returns in the fourth book of the series. An old friend and fellow lawyer has been brutally murdered at Lincoln’s Inn and Shardlake is lured back into the treacherous world of politics with the offer of investigating his friend’s death. But why is a lawyer’s apparently senseless murder a matter of politics? As Shardlake begins his investigation it is revealed that his friend’s murder is not the first and a ruthless game of cat and mouse ensues as a fanatical killer is determined to fulfill a biblical prophecy. This time it is personal for Shardlake as friends are threatened, new allies found, and old enemies run rampant. In this riveting historical mystery, set in a troubled London when it is mortally dangerous to question the word of authority, a man of integrity can still be burned at the stake for his convictions. --Ann D. |
