Praise for the Matthew Shardlake series and Dark Fire: "C. J. Sansom's magnificent books set in the reign of Henry VIII bring to life the sounds and smells of Tudor England." —The Sunday Times "One of the author's greatest gifts is the immediacy of his descriptions…. But it is Shardlake himself who steals the show. His honesty and humility shine out in a dark world where murder and mayhem are the order of the day."
