ABOUT THE BOOK
Autumn 1541. Following the uncovering of a plot against his throne in Yorkshire, King Henry VIII has set out on a spectacular progress to the North to overawe his rebellious subjects. Accompanied by a thousand soldiers, the cream of the nobility, and his fifth wife Catherine Howard, the King is to attend an extravagant submission of the local gentry at York. Already in the city are lawyer Matthew Shardlake and his assistant Jack Barak. As well as assisting with legal work processing petitions to the King, Shardlake has reluctantly undertaken a special mission - to ensure the welfare of an important but dangerous conspirator being returned to London for interrogation. But the murder of a local glazier involves Shardlake in deeper mysteries…

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
C.J. Sansom came to prominence with his series set in the reign of Henry VIII in the 16th century, whose main character is the hunchbacked lawyer Matthew Shardlake. Shardlake works on commission initially from Thomas Cromwell in Dissolution and Dark Fire and then Thomas Cranmer in Sovereign.
Sansom was educated at the University of Birmingham, where he took a BA and then a PhD in history. After working in a variety of jobs, he decided to retrain as a solicitor. He practiced for a while in Sussex as a lawyer for the disadvantaged, then he quit in order to work full-time as a writer.

ABOUT THE READER
Steven Crossley is an English actor and graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London and has since established an acting career on both sides of the Atlantic in theatre, TV, film and radio; performing with distinguished Theatre companies in New York and London. A highly experienced narrator, he has won a number of prestigious awards for his powerful performances.
His audio book performances cover an eclectic range of subjects in both fiction and non-fiction, from thrillers, mysteries, classics and histories to children’s fantasy and biographies. “From recording books, I am constantly reminding myself I am speaking to somebody,” he comments. “If you’re on stage, you have a tendency to talk at somebody. When I’m in the studio, I remind myself to communicate with somebody. Hopefully that’s fed my acting.”
His memories of people, their mannerisms, and ways of speaking have proven to be invaluable references for him in the studio. “When I’m creating a character, I think of people I know. I don’t impersonate them, I just think of them while I’m reading. It helps to have a clear image of the character, and that image is always aided by the writer.
