Revelation by C.J. Sansom

4.0

While old, hideously fat and probably insane Henry VIII stalks another potential Queen (Katherine Parr), hunchback lawyer Matthew Shardlake investigates a killer who is inspired by the Book of Revelations to dispatch men he targets as religious hypocrites. With no social services (the monks have been dissolved, and the Protestant radicals are in no mood to wash lepers or care for the crazy poor) and a legal system waiting in terrified confusion for the death of the monarch, Tudor London is a great place to be a serial killer.
