There, Shardlake also intends to investigate the mysterious past of Ellen Fettiplace, a young woman incarcerated in the Bedlam. Once in Portsmouth, Shardlake and Barak find themselves in a city preparing for war. The mysteries surrounding the Hobbey family and the events that destroyed Ellen’s family nineteen years before, involve Shardlake in reunions both with an old friend and an old enemy close to the throne. Soon events will converge on board one of the king’s great warships gathered in Portsmouth harbour, waiting to sail out and confront the approaching French fleet. . .

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.
