C. J. Sansom: Lamentation

Lamentation


Description

Matthew Shardlake is back in Lamentation, from the number one bestselling author C. J. Sansom.Summer, 1546.King Henry VIII is slowly, painfully dying. His Protestant and Catholic councillors are engaged in a final and decisive power struggle; whoever wins will control the government of Henry's successor, eight-year-old Prince Edward. As heretics are hunted across London, and the radical Protestant Anne Askew is burned at the stake, the Catholic party focus their attack on Henry's sixth wife, Matthew Shardlake's old mentor, Queen Catherine Parr.Shardlake, still haunted by events aboard the warship Mary Rose the year before, is working on the Cotterstoke Will case, a savage dispute between rival siblings. Then, unexpectedly, he is summoned to Whitehall Palace and asked for help by his old patron, the now beleaguered and desperate Queen.For Catherine Parr has a secret. She has written a confessional book, Lamentation of a Sinner, so radically Protestant that if it came to the King's attention it could bring both her and her sympathizers crashing down. But, although the book was kept secret and hidden inside a locked chest in the Queen's private chamber, it has - inexplicably - vanished. Only one page has been found, clutched in the hand of a murdered London printer.Shardlake's investigations take him on a trail that begins among the backstreet printshops of London but leads him and Jack Barak into the dark and labyrinthine world of the politics of the royal court; a world he had sworn never to enter again. Loyalty to the Queen will drive him into a swirl of intrigue inside Whitehall Palace, where Catholic enemies and Protestant friends can be equally dangerous, and the political opportunists, who will follow the wind wherever it blows, more dangerous than either. The theft of Queen Catherine's book proves to be connected to the terrible death of Anne Askew, while his involvement with the Cotterstoke litigants threatens to bring Shardlake himself to the stake.The previous books in the bestselling Shardlake series are Dissolution, Dark Fire, Sovereign, Revelation and Heartstone.

The subjects are extremely interesting and Bruce succeeds in artfully getting to the heart of them. This is why this book is dedicated to Bruce as a songwriter, as a poet of lyrics, some of which represent little masterpieces - even without music. They point beyond themselves by means of powerful imagery. Their ambiguity holds some surprises. The best way to get to know the real Bruce Dickinson probably is to have a beer with him. But he admitted that through his lyrics "you can certainly maybe get an idea of what is going {sic} on with myself," and that's why all fans of Lamentation ebook pdf Bruce, and Iron Maiden, should read this book. Life can get back to normal now that the chaos of Spider-Island has subsided. For Spider-Man, that means the cops still hate him, and his ex-girlfriend won't speak to him - and any time he tries to do something right, things go wrong. But at least he has his spidersense back, and he'll need every bit of help he can get from his bad-guy detector when a villain from his past recruits a band of ruffi ans in a lofty bid to rob, terrorize and kill anyone who gets in their way! And while Dr. Octopus and his Sinister Six rise up against the formidable Intelligencia, Spider-Man teams-up with Daredevil to clear the Black Cat's not-so-good name! Seems she's been busted stealing some high-tech gadgetry coveted by organized crime. But what if she's not as innocent as Spider-Man thinks? COLLECTING: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 674-677, DAREDEVIL 8
