Lord Cromwell's Hunchback
29.99 €
1537, England. The systematic destruction of monasteries, declared to be breeding grounds for vice and treason, is in full swing. However, the events in the monastery of the small town of Scarnsey do not develop according to the scenario written by the main ruler Thomas Cromwell. His emissary is brutally murdered, his decapitated body found in a pool of blood near the desecrated altar. Who did it? Sorcerers, practitioners of black magic? Or smugglers? Or the monks themselves? Matthew Shardlake, a hunchback whose mind can unravel the most complex crimes, is assigned to investigate the atrocity. Arriving at the monastery, he discovers that this murder - not the first committed within the walls of the monastery ... In the world of literary heroes and in the minds of today's readers, the image of Matthew Shardlake takes an honorable place in a row with such famous characters as Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Niro Wolfe and Commissioner Megret.
