内容简介
“都铎疑云”系列以英国十六世纪都铎王朝为背景，作者构建出一系列以律师马修·夏雷克为主角的小说。夏雷克的设定一反常态，不同于其他推理作品中完美精干的侦探形象，而是一位其貌不扬的驼背律师。

Following on from Dissolution and Dark Fire, Sovereign is the third title in C. J. Sansom's bestselling Shardlake series.

一声尖厉的嘶叫刺破清晨的迷雾，临终前的男人在血泊里呼喊出某个奇怪的名字……

亨利八世正在进行英国有史以来规模*大、场面*壮观的巡行，日前驻跸于此。“求恩巡礼”叛乱虽已逾五年，北方动荡余波仍在。此时发生的凶案，究竟是刺杀国王的前奏，还是叛党内部的纷争？随行的马修·夏雷克，再次踏上探案之路。但他本身前来约克的秘密任务，竟是确保一名叛乱余党的性命安全……

然而，离真相越近，也离漩涡越近：一份早已被废除的律法、一个始终不肯吐露分毫的叛党、一张历经百年的破旧纸片，竟同时指向一个能令亨利八世身败名裂的血缘之谜。

Autumn, 1541. King Henry VIII has set out on a spectacular Progress to the North to attend an extravagant submission of his rebellious subjects in York.

Already in the city are lawyer Matthew Shardlake and his assistant Jack Barak. As well as assisting with legal work processing petitions to the King, Shardlake has reluctantly undertaken a special mission for the Archbishop Cranmer – to ensure the welfare of an important but dangerous conspirator being returned to London for interrogation.

But the murder of a local glazier involves Shardlake in deeper mysteries, connected not only to the prisoner in York Castle but to the royal family itself. And when Shardlake and Barak stumble upon a cache of secret papers which could threaten the Tudor throne, a chain of events unfolds that will lead to Shardlake facing the most terrifying fate of the age . . .

Continue the gripping historical series with Revelation, Heartstone, Lamentation and Tombland.
