Based on the true story of the unsolved disappearance
of
Hans Holbein—famed portrait-painter of Henry VIII—this
atmospheric historical novel plunges into an underworld
of
Tudor politics and intrigue. The Real Crime: Hans Holbein, King Henry VIII's
portrait
painter, died in the autumn of 1543. A century later a
chronicler reported that the artist had succumbed to
plague,
yet there is no contemporary evidence to support this.
Suspicions have been raised over the centuries, but the
mystery of what actually happened remains unsolved to
this
day. Our Story: Young London goldsmith Thomas Treviot
is
awaiting
a design for a very important jewelry commission from
Hans
Holbein. When the design fails to turn up, Thomas sends a
servant to track Holbein down, only to discover that the
painter has disappeared. In his hunt for Holbein and the
lost design, Thomas is led into a morass of dangerous
political intrigue, Spanish spies and courtiers that is
more
treacherous than he could ever have anticipated . . .
