Continuing Colin MacDonald’s dramatisation of the Tudor mystery novel by C.J. Sansom.

As he continues his investigations into the murky history of the Hobbey family, Shardlake finally realises the startling truth about Sir Nicholas Hobbey’s young ward, Hugh Curteys. And in his parallel enquiries into the case of Bedlam inmate Ellen Fettiplace and the traumatic events at Rolfswood nineteen years earlier, he boards the Mary Rose for a second interview with Phillip West – an assistant purser on the warship, and Ellen’s one-time fiancé.
