About Sovereign by C.J. Sansom
Set in autumn 1541, Sovereign brings lawyer Matthew Shardlake and his assistant Jack Barak to York during Henry VIII’s royal progress to the north. Shardlake is there to handle petitions and, at Archbishop Cranmer’s request, to look after a dangerous conspirator held in York Castle.
The murder of a York glazier draws Shardlake into a mystery connected to the prisoner and the royal family. When he and Barak find secret documents that could threaten the Tudor throne, their investigation takes a perilous turn. The third Matthew Shardlake mystery will suit readers looking for Tudor-era historical fiction with a crime investigation at its center.
