En 1557, l'Angleterre est déchirée par une violente période de transition religieuse :les réformistes s'apprêtent à dissoudre tous les anciens monastères catholiques, coupables, selon eux, d'idolâtrie obscurantiste. C'est dans cette atmosphère chaotique qu'un matin, à Londres, Matthew Shardlake, brillant avocat disciple d'Erasme, est reçu au cabinet de l'autoritaire Lord Cromwell, chef des réformistes. Ce dernier le somme de se rendre au monastère de Scarnsea, théâtre de rumeurs sordides, dans lequel Shardlake va découvrir le cadavre décapité de son confrère, Robin Singleton... Un assassinat inexplicable, des traces de rituel païen, une congrégation frappée de mutisme : l'avocat devra résoudre, une à une, toutes les facettes de cette profonde et macabre énigme.
