Shardlake sees a man fall to his death and, on hearing his last words, feels sure it was not an accident. Stars Justin Salinger.
Shardlake, and his assistant Barak, have arrived in York ahead of the 3,000-strong procession. Officially there to prepare petitions for the King, they have also been tasked with a secret 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.
After settling into their living quarters, Shardlake witnesses a man fall to a terrible death and, on hearing his last words, feels sure it was more than an unfortunate accident.
Gripping adaptation of CJ Sansom's Tudor crime novel - featuring lawyer detective Matthew Shardlake - set in 1541, during Henry VIII's spectacular Royal Progress to the north.
