DISSOLUTION - CHRISTOPHER J SANSOM TASCHENBUCH

It is 1537  a time of revolution that sees the greatest changes in England since 1066. Henry
VIII has proclaimed himself Supreme Head of the Church. The country is waking up to savage new
laws  rigged trials and the greatest network of informers it has ever seen. And under the
orders of Thomas Cromwell  a team of commissioners is sent throughout the country to
investigate the monasteries. There can only be one outcome: dissolution. 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. Matthew Shardlake  lawyer
and long-time supporter of Reform  has been sent by Cromwell to uncover the truth behind the
dark happenings at Scarnsea. But investigation soon forces Shardlake to question everything
that he hears  and everything that he intrinsically believes . . . '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
