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 jewellery 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, French spies, and courtiers that is more treacherous than he could ever have anticipated....

It seems to have everything, and everything done quite well-- plot, place, politics. But somehow the progression of the story just didn't catch fire for me. I had to labor through it to the end. But, there is so much right with the way this author writes, I will try another of his.

By Claire Ridgway The Traitor’s Mark takes us forward in time from The First Horseman by seven years to autumn 1543. The characters we came to know and love in 1536 have got on with their lives after the troubles of 1536, but little do they know that trouble is once more stirring. The protagonist Thomas Treviot, a London goldsmith, is trying to contact artist and jewellery designer Hans Holbein, about a promised jewellery commission, when his messenger and friend gets arrested for murdering Holbein’s apprentice and Holbein is nowhere to be found. Not only does Treviot need to help his friend get out of this mess, he needs to find Holbein to get the promised jewellery design. But before he can do much about tracking down the artist, a warrant arrives requiring him to visit Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury – what has Treviot got himself into?Everything soon spirals out of control and Treviot just doesn’t know who to trust. Who’s Black Harry and who’s his puppet master? Are Treviot’s links to Cranmer going to bring him down as people in high places plot against the Archbishop? And just what has Holbein to do with any of this? Can Treviot find Holbein and keep those he loves safe?Once again, eminent historian Derek Wilson has taken a real-life mystery – the mysterious death of Holbein in 1543 – and turned it into a compelling and intriguing thriller. The political intrigue of Henry VIII’s court at this time is brought beautifully to life through Treviot’s eyes and Wilson has the gift of conjuring up vivid pictures of both places and people in the reader’s mind with just a few words.The First Horseman and The Traitor’s Mark are must-reads for anyone who enjoys historical thrillers like those written by C.J. Sansom, and I hope D.K. Wilson is working on the third – I can’t wait to read it.
0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Be Prepared for Late Nights By Templevillemary This is D K Wilson’s second Tudor thriller in the Thomas Treviot series, set in mid-16th century England. It follows on from The First Horseman and the action takes place about seven years from where the first book ends. The author is a renowned historian, thus the authentic Tudor backdrop. The book is peopled by well-known, real life characters such as Archbishop Cranmer and Hans Holbein, the portrait painter to Henry VIII. The novel is based on the disappearance of Holbein, and the efforts of Treviot, a young London goldsmith, to discover what has befallen him. This involvement brings the protagonist and his family and friends into the midst of danger and intrigue. The uncertainty and turbulence of life in England in the 16th century, where the wrong word in the wrong ear could mean burning at the stake, is brought vividly to life by the author. The survival of even the most favoured of Henry VIII’s confidants can hang in the balance, depending on who has the King’s ear at that particular moment. We need just think of Thomas Cromwell’s influence, and how quickly he fell from grace.You will feel yourself drawn into the lives of Thomas and his loved ones, and you will really care about what could happen to them as he gets himself deeper into the religious and political turmoil around him. I recommend all lovers of Tudor history to read this book. Be prepared for late nights and bleary-eyed mornings. I hope that the author is well into the writing of the third Treviot story. As for myself, I will now start on his non-fiction works.
