About This Book

Read full description

The fourth novel in the Matthew Shardlake Tudor Mystery series—the inspiration for the Hulu original series Shardlake ! In 1543, while Tudor England is abuzz with King Henry VIII's wooing of Lady Catherine Parr, Matthew Shardlake is working to defend a teenage boy, a religious fanatic being held in the infamous Bedlam hospital for the insane. Then, when an old friend is murdered, Shardlake's search for the killer leads him back not only to Bedlam but also to Catherine Parr-and the dark prophecies of the Book of Revelation. Hailed as a "virtuoso performance" ( The Denver Post ) and "historical fiction writing at its best" ( The Tampa Tribune ), Revelation is a must-read for fans of Hilary Mantel, Margaret George, and Philippa Gregory. Awarded the CWA Diamond Dagger – the highest honor in British crime writing
