July 1540. The courts of Europe are stunned to hear that Henry VIII has executed his all-powerful minister, Thomas Cromwell.

Poet and classicist Nicholas Bourbon is sent from the cultured court of Queen Marguerite of Navarre to investigate. Thrust into a turbulent world of religious, political and personal rivalries, his travels take him far and wide. He endures perils at sea, incarceration in a monastic prison and poisonous intrigue in the Tudor court. Yet this retiring scholar cannot abandon a quest which steadily becomes an obsession, drawing him ever deeper into the beliefs and motivations of his mysterious quarry.

Only after facing many hazards does he discover the astonishing secret that unlocks the Cromwell enigma.

This thrilling historical novel blends fact and fiction together seamlessly to deliver a novel about Thomas Cromwell rich in description and history. A real page turner for those who are fans of Hilary Mantel and Alison Weir, The Cromwell Enigma will captivate anyone with an interest in the Tudor period. This is historical fiction at its finest as Derek Wilson delivers an engaging narrative on the life and mystery of Thomas Cromwell.

Press Reviews

[On THE THOMAS TREVIOT SERIES] Derek Wilson is a fine historian – and he can also tell a gripping story. This is historical fiction at its best, effortlessly underpinned by a wealth of research by a writer whose understanding of the period is profound.

- Alison Weir, author of Katherine of Aragon, The True Queen and Innocent Traitor

Going one better than the C. J. Sansom’s Shardlake series and penned with the force of a Robert Harris narrative, D. K. Wilson’s Devil’s Chalice is the 3rd historical novel with the charming and adventurous Goldsmith Thomas Treviot and his household of characters as they unravel royal plots and sedition in Tudor London. This historical thriller pushes all the right buttons and gallops through the fall of 1549 intrigue towards a ‘courtroom drama’ finale in the King’s Privy Council. A great read!
