## Description

Dissolution by the late, great C. J. Sansom is our introduction to Matthew Shardlake: a disabled barrister with a keen legal mind, whose criminal investigations during the reign of Henry VIII bring Tudor England to vivid life . . . The turmoil of the time – religious and social – adds a layer of peril to this twisty murder mystery . . . Dissolution is at once a fiendish puzzle and a slice of gritty historical fiction, with a brilliantly unconventional detective at its heart
