Dead ground. Sense K.J.

England, 1549. After the death of Henry, the VIII Detector Matthew Matthew Chardlake enters the service of the youngest daughter of the deceased king, the young Elizabeth Tudor, who does not even suspect that one day she will become Queen of England. Finally, Shardlake, already middle-aged and in order tired of court intrigues, can breathe freely. However, he was not destined to enjoy a calm life for long: Elizabeth asks him to go to Norida and help John Boleyn, a distant relative of his late mother, who is accused of a villainous murder of his wife. Matthew sets off, not at all realizing that he is destined to become a witness to the fatal events for the kingdom of events...

In the world of literary heroes and in the minds of today's reader, the image of Matthew Chardlake occupies a honorary place in a row with such famous characters, Like Sherlock Holmes, Erkul Poiro, Niro Wulf and Commissioner Megre.
