"We can't recommend this book too highly; it's another virtuoso performance from a truly great talent." -The Denver Post Readers across America are discovering C. J. Sansom's marvelous Shardlake novels. Now, with the brilliant fourth installment in the series, Revelation is poised to bring his highly praised historical thrillers to an even wider audience.
