Justin Salinger stars as Shardlake, with Bryan Dick as Barak, in this heart-stopping penultimate instalment of the ?Shardlake? series. Events come to their dramatic climax on board the King?s most famous warship: the Mary Rose. As he and his assistant Jack Barak pursue their investigations, they uncover secrets, lies and sinister crimes, and are reunited with both an old friend and an old enemy. She refuses to speak about the traumatic events that led to her incarceration almost twenty years ago, and Shardlake believes her family may hold the answers. Shardlake also has another, more personal mission - to discover the truth about Ellen Fettiplace, a young woman he has befriended in Bedlam. Queen Catherine Parr has asked him to take on a case involving the ?monstrous wrongs? allegedly committed by cloth merchant Sir Nicholas Hobbey against his young ward, Hugh Curteys. Though no soldier, Matthew Shardlake also finds himself dispatched there. Facing imminent invasion by the French fleet, King Henry VIII has mustered a huge army at Portsmouth.
Summer, 1545, and England is preparing for war.
