Of Judgement Fallen
First published 2023
Spring 1523. Henry VIII’s government needs money for war with France and Cardinal Wolsey is preparing to confront Parliament over taxation when Anthony Blanke becomes involved in another suspicious death. His investigation brings him into contact with the legal and political world of Thomas More as questions of money, loyalty and royal policy sharpen across London.
The war, Wolsey’s parliamentary struggle and More’s public career are historical; Anthony and the crime plot are fictional. The second Anthony Blanke mystery uses the financial and political pressures of Henry VIII’s continental ambitions as the background to a Tudor murder investigation.
