Book
Justice for the Cardinal
First published 2019
Henry VIII’s England. Following the unjust death of Cardinal Wolsey, his protégé Thomas Cromwell is determined to take his revenge on those he holds responsible, most of all Queen Anne Boleyn and her uncle Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk. But Thomas is obliged to acquire the services of a spy, Richard Ashton, who can act as his eyes and ears within a Court that falls silent in the presence of the man who has risen to be ‘Master Secretary’, and King Henry’s new close confidante. As King Henry lurches through one cursed marriage after another, he is surrounded by a Court that is as immoral and treacherous as it is rich.
And while Cromwell may easily dispose of some of his enemies, it’s clear others could tear him down. As Richard Ashton becomes more embroiled in courtly affairs, it seems his life could also be on the line.
