Tudor England, 1543: King Henry VIII is wooing the rumored reformist Lady Catherine Parr, whom he wants for his sixth wife. But this time the object of his affection is resisting. Meanwhile, 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. As Bishop Bonner prepares to purge London of Protestants, Shardlake uncovers a series of horrific murders, igniting a frenzied talk of witchcraft and demonic possession.
