Revelation

Spring, 1543. London’s streets are filled with preachers, strange signs, and portents are seen everywhere; and young men, maddened by differing interpretations of the Bible, are drawn into dangerous fundamentalism. The family of one such man, Adam Kite, has sought help from lawyer Matthew Shardlake. Adam is being held in Bedlam for his own safety. But Shardlake is distracted from the case when his friend Roger Elliard is found brutally murdered—the victim of a serial killer inspired by the Book of Revelation. With the help of trusty sidekick Barack, Shardlake embarks on his most dangerous investigation yet, as he tries to protect Adam and prevent the killer from fulfilling his unholy mission. This thrilling fourth installment of the Shardlake series stars Justin Salinger as Shardlake, with Bryan Dick as Barak. Unabridged.
