Matthew Shardlake, hunchback barrister and top notch investigator, is commissioned by Thomas Cromwell to investigate the discovery of Greek fire. At the same time Shardlake must defend a young girl wrongly accused of murder amid political turmoil that may spell the end for Cromwell and ultimate Shardlake himself. Another great 16th century murder mystery from Sansom. Though only his second novel, Sansom is becoming one of my favorite historical fiction writers.
