ABOUT THE BOOK
Summer, 1546. King Henry VIII is slowly, painfully dying. His Protestant and Catholic councillors are engaged in a final and decisive power struggle; whoever wins will control the government of Henry’s successor, eight-year-old Prince Edward. As heretics are hunted across London, and the radical Protestant Anne Askew is burned at the stake, the Catholic party focus their attack on Henry’s sixth wife, Matthew Shardlake’s old mentor, Queen Catherine Parr.
Shardlake, still haunted by events aboard the warship Mary Rose the year before, is working on the Cotterstoke Will case, a savage dispute between rival siblings. Then, unexpectedly, he is summoned to Whitehall Palace and asked for help by his old patron, the now beleaguered and desperate Queen.
For Catherine Parr has a secret. She has written a confessional book, Lamentation of a Sinner, so radically Protestant that if it came to the King’s attention it could bring both her and her sympathizers crashing down. But, although the book was kept secret and hidden inside a locked chest in the Queen’s private chamber, it has - inexplicably - vanished. Only one page has been found, clutched in the hand of a murdered London printer.
Shardlake’s investigations take him on a trail that begins among the backstreet printshops of London but leads him and Jack Barak into the dark and labyrinthine world of the politics of the royal court; a world he had sworn never to enter again. Loyalty to the Queen will drive him into a swirl of intrigue inside Whitehall Palace, where Catholic enemies and Protestant friends can be equally dangerous, and the political opportunists, who will follow the wind wherever it blows, more dangerous than either.
The theft of Queen Catherine’s book proves to be connected to the terrible death of Anne Askew, while his involvement with the Cotterstoke litigants threatens to bring Shardlake himself to the stake.

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.
