Sacrilege

Sacrilege
by S.J. Parris

Parris gives us a mix of political intrigue, action, and sleuthing in this historical thriller. Multiple plots include the disappearance of a number of young boys to a plan to revive a Sir Thomas Becket cult, dormant ever since the disappearance of the saint's bones. A rich portrayal of daily life in Elizabethan England. [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the first two titles in the Giordano Bruno series: Heresy (2010) and Prophecy (2011). The Roots of Betrayal by James Forrester, Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies.] -- this recommendation, based on the downloadable audio version of this title, is from Diane E. - Technical Processes Department

[Also available in print format.]
