This historical mystery is the second to feature Matthew Shardlake, a hunchbacked lawyer practicing in Tudor England. Shardlake`s current client is Elizabeth Wentworth, a young woman charged with murdering her cousin. Because she will not speak to defend herself or plead for mercy, her execution via slow torture is imminent. Henry VIII`s vicar-general, Lord Thomas Cromwell, promises to delay the execution in exchange for Shardlake`s assistance in tracking down two alchemists, their secret weapon (a burning chemical called Greek Fire), and the recipe for its manufacture.
