Of Judgement Fallen by Steven Veerapen

Spring, 1523. The Kings chief minister, Cardinal Wolsey, prepares to open Parliament at Blackfriars, but all is not well in Wolseys household. A visiting critic of the Cardinal is found brutally slain whilst awaiting an audience at Richmond Palace. Anthony Blanke, trumpeter and groom, is once again called upon to unmask a murderer.

'A convincing portrait of the deadly realities of life in Henry VIII's court'

'If you enjoy an historical mystery that demonstrates a deep understanding of its period, then this is for you.'

-- Michael Lynes * Historical Novel Society *

'[Veerapen's] depiction of the world of the English court in the 1520s is rich, detailed and satisfying and everything feels just right...an engaging and enthralling story that keep you guessing right to the end'

-- Ken Lussey * Undiscovered Scotland *

'Of Judgement Fallen is beautifully written with a cornucopia of historical detail in every line which, in less skilled hands, would be stilted. But the author’s touch is so deft it feels effortless'

-- Michael Ward * Aspects of History *
