What made the experience of listening to Dissolution the most enjoyable? But investigation soon forces Shardlake to question everything that he hears, and everything that he intrinsically believes. Matthew Shardlake, lawyer and long-time supporter of Reform, has been sent by Cromwell to uncover the truth behind the dark happenings at Scarnsea. His horrific murder is accompanied by equally sinister acts of sacrilege. Cromwell's Commissioner, Robin Singleton, has been found dead, his head severed from his body. But on the Sussex coast, at the monastery of Scarnsea, events have spiralled out of control.
There can only be one outcome: dissolution. And under the orders of Thomas Cromwell, a team of commissioners is sent throughout the country to investigate the monasteries. The country is waking up to savage new laws, rigged trials and the greatest network of informers ever seen. Henry VIII has proclaimed himself Supreme Head of the Church. It is 1537, a time of revolution that sees the greatest changes in England since 1066. Dissolution: the first book in the best-selling Shardlake series.
