British author Derek Wilson is one with a tremendously long bibliography as a Historian, and as an author of fiction. He brings all of that to '''The First Horseman''', a resounding success that blends fact and fiction to create a gripping, fast moving Tudor crime story that educates as well as fascinates, moving from the merchants of Cheapside to the whores of Southwark, and mixing with figures such as Thomas Cromwell and Henry VIII.
