The Author Never Fails to Please- By: J. Chippindale, 27 Dec 2007
This is another in the series of novels featuring Matthew Shardlake & to my own personal delight much of it is set in an around the area of York, where I myself was born & bred. It is always nice if you can associate with a place in a book.
Lawyer, Matthew Shardlake & Jack Barak his assistant are on their way to the city of York. Their business being to attend to the welfare of a prisoner who is to be returned to London to be interrogated. While there Shardlake is also to involve himself & assist where possible with legal partitions during the progress of King Henry VIII to the City of York, a beautiful & ancient city, surrounded by a walll of pale yellow stone. A city that has been home to the Roman's & the Viking's in its time.
When a local man, a glazier is found murdered, Matthew & Jack uncover a box, which among other things contains a genealogical chart. Before Shardlake has the chance to peruse the other papers in the box he is attacked & the box & its contents taken. Other attacks follow & it is up to Matthew to discover the truth, who is behind the attacks & what is the purpose of them . . .
