In 1545, times are perilous for London counsel Matthew Shardlake and for his country. While the English, heavily taxed and with their coinage debased by Henry VIII, prepare for a naval attack from the French at Portsmouth, Shardlake takes on a case at the request of Catherine Parr on behalf of her former servant, whose son committed suicide after discovering "monstrous wrongs" against a teenage ward he once tutored. As the 43-year-old, hunchbacked Shardlake seeks to uncover secrets in the ward's household, he also investigates the past of a presumably sane woman kept for years in Bedlam. Even with the queen's patronage, the dogged Shardlake is threatened bodily while pursuing answers to both cases, which ultimately pit him against his old court nemesis, Sir Richard Rich. The heft of this fifth in the Shardlake series may be intimidating, but Sansom's supple and action-packed prose should keep readers engaged. The novel vividly captures the Tudor scene, from its corrupt politics to the stench of its streets and the horror of battle. Historical mystery at its finest.
在1545年,伦敦的时间是危险的Shardlake律师马太福音,为自己的国家效力。在英国,课以重税和他们的货币被亨利八世的贬低,准备一个海军攻击的法国到朴茨茅斯的时候,Shardlake作为一种情况要求代表她凯瑟琳·帕尔前的仆人,他的儿子之后自杀发掘“巨大的错误",对他曾经辅导一个十几岁的病房。为43岁,Shardlake试图揭开秘密弓腰驼背的家庭病房里,他对以前的一个女人保持清醒多年来推测在疯人院里。即使有女王的人气,顽强的Shardlake受到威胁的身体在追求回答这两种情况下,他最终坑,对阵他的老法院强敌,理查德爵士丰富。这第五个分量的Shardlake系列可以挺吓人,但是Sansom的柔软和火爆的散文应该使读者订婚了。这部小说生动地捕捉到图多尔场景,从它的政治腐败,发臭的街道和令人恐怖的战斗。在它历史神秘倒下。
内容简介
This is the new Shardlake mystery from the No 1 bestselling author of "REVELATION". Summer, 1545. England is at war. Henry VIII's invasion of France has gone badly wrong, and a massive French fleet is preparing to sail across the Channel. As the English fleet gathers at Portsmouth, the country raises the largest militia army it has ever seen. The King has debased the currency to pay for the war, and England is in the grip of soaring inflation and economic crisis. Meanwhile Matthew Shardlake is given an intriguing legal case by an old servant of Queen Catherine Parr. Asked to investigate claims of 'monstrous wrongs' committed against a young ward of the court, which have already involved one mysterious death, Shardlake and his assistant Barak journey to Portsmouth. Once arrived, Shardlake and Barak find themselves in a city preparing to become a war zone; and Shardlake takes the opportunity to also investigate the mysterious past of Ellen Fettipace, a young woman incarcerated in the Bedlam. The emerging mysteries around the young ward, and the events that destroyed Ellen's family nineteen years before, involve Shardlake in reunions both with an old friend and an old enemy close to the throne. Events will converge on board one of the King's great warships, primed for battle in Portsmouth harbour: the Mary Rose...
