Den Norske Bokdatabasens omtale:
England, 1540. Mot sin vilje har advokaten Matthew Shardlake påtatt seg å forsvare Elizabeth Wentworth. Hun er anklaget for mordet på søskenbarnet sitt, men hun nekter å si om hun er skyldig eller ikke. Straffen for å ikke si noe er streng, men plutselig blir hun benådet av Thomas Cromwell. Prisen Shardlake må betale for dette, er å tjene Cromwell i to uker. Cromwell er imidlertid ikke lenger den sterke og triumferende mannen han var, særlig etter at han arrangerte kongens mislykkede ekteskap med Anne av Cleves. Dette er den andre romanen om Matthew Shardlake.

Forlagets omtale:
It is 1540 and the hottest summer of the sixteenth century. Matthew Shardlake, believing himself out of favour with Thomas Cromwell, is busy trying to maintain his legal practice and keep a low profile. But his involvement with a murder case, defending a girl accused of brutally murdering her young cousin, brings him once again into contact with the king‘s chief minister -- and a new assignment ...The secret of Greek Fire, the legendary substance with which the Byzantines destroyed the Arab navies, has been lost for centuries. Now an official of the Court of Augmentations has discovered the formula in the library of a dissolved London monastery. When Shardlake is sent to recover it, he finds the official and his alchemist brother brutally murdered -- the formula has disappeared. Now Shardlake must follow the trail of Greek Fire across Tudor London, while trying at the same time to prove his young client‘s innocence. But very soon he discovers nothing is as it seems ...
