Autumn 1541, Henry VIII arrives in York and lawyer Matthew Shardlake is put to task.

Autumn 1541, Henry VIII arrives in York and lawyer Matthew Shardlake is put to task. Tudor crime novel starring Justin Salinger.

Colin MacDonald's dramatisation of the third novel in C J Sansom's bestselling crime series, set during Henry VIII's Royal Progress to the north of England in 1541. 

Lawyer Mathew Shardlake, and his assistant Barak, arrived in the York a day ahead of the 3,000-strong procession. Officially there to prepare petitions for the King, they have been secretly tasked with a mission by Archbishop Cranmer: to ensure the welfare of one of the northern conspirators, Sir Edward Broderick, who is to be brought back to London for questioning in the Tower. 

Soon after his arrival, Shardlake was called upon to investigate a suspicious death - and stumbled upon a daring plot that has the potential to shake England to its core. 

Having been badly shaken by an attempt upon his life, Shardlake hopes to convince Sir William Maleverer that he should be sent back to London.
