``A triumph both as detective fiction and as a novel ... superior to Hilary Mantel.``--The Independent Summer, 1546. King Henry VIII is slowly, painfully dying. His Protestant and Catholic councilors are engaged in a power struggle; whoever wins will control the government. The Catholic party focuses its attack on Henrys sixth wife--and Matthew Shardlakes old mentor--Queen Catherine Parr. The Queen has authored a confessional book, Lamentation of a Sinner, so radically Protestant that if it came to the Kings attention it could bring both her and her sympathizers crashing down. Although the secret book was kept hidden inside a locked chest in the Queens private chamber, it has inexplicably vanished. Shardlakes investigations take him on a trail that begins among the backstreet printshops of London, but leads him and his trusty assistant Jack Barak into the dark and labyrinthine world of court politics, a world Shardlake swore never to enter again.
