The Real Crime.
Hans Holbein, King Henry VIIIs 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.

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 & the lost design, Thomas is led into a morass of dangerous political intrigue, Spanish spies & courtiers that is more treacherous than he could ever have anticipated...
