Description
Dissolution is the first novel in C. J. Sansom's Shardlake series, set in England in 1537. A time of revolution, England is experiencing significant changes, with Henry VIII proclaiming himself Supreme Head of the Church. A team of commissioners, led by Thomas Cromwell, is investigating the monasteries, with the ultimate goal of dissolution. However, at the monastery of Scarnsea, events have spiralled out of control, culminating in the brutal murder of Cromwell's commissioner, Robin Singleton. Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer and supporter of Reform, is sent to uncover the truth behind the dark happenings at Scarnsea. As Shardlake delves deeper into the investigation, he is forced to question everything he hears and everything he believes. A dark and sinister world of sacrilege and murder unfolds, threatening to destroy the very fabric of Tudor England. This gripping mystery follows Shardlake into the heart of Tudor England, where the lines between truth and deception are constantly blurred.
