En el invierno de 1537, bajo el reinado de Enrique VIII, la disolución de los monasterios está en marcha. Thomas Cromwell, el temido vicario general del rey, se enfrenta a la vieja Iglesia católica con leyes draconianas y una red de informadores sin precedentes. La trama se complica cuando, en el monasterio benedictino de Scarnsea, el comisionado de Cromwell aparece muerto con la cabeza separada del cuerpo. El abogado Matthew Shardlake, un reformista de aguda inteligencia, es enviado a investigar, descubriendo delitos sexuales, malversación de fondos y traición. Con una trama minuciosamente elaborada, 'El gallo negro' es una apasionante novela de intriga que se desarrolla durante los tempestuosos albores del estado de derecho moderno.
