- Synopsis:
An eerie whodunnit adventure, set in 16th century England during the dissolution of the monasteries. Shardlake's sheltered life as a lawyer is turned upside down when Cromwell instructs him to investigate the murder of one of his commissioners at a monastery in the remote town of Scarnsea. The commissioner was gathering evidence to close the monastery and it is now imperative for Cromwell's own political survival that Shardlake (Arthur Hughes) both solves the murder and closes the monastery. He leaves Shardlake in no doubt that failure is not an option. Cromwell (Sean Bean) insists that he is accompanied by cocky, good-looking Jack Barak (Anthony Boyle) and Shardlake is left unsure whether Barak is an assistant, or Cromwell's spy. At Scarnsea, the duo are met with hostility, suspicion and paranoia by the monks who fear for their future and will seemingly stop at nothing to preserve their order. - Actors:
