The four-part adaptation of historical crime novel Dissolution stars Game Of Thrones actor Sean Bean, Masters Of The Air actor Anthony Boyle, and Then Barbara Met Alan star Arthur Hughes.
Author CJ Sansom, who created the character of Matthew Shardlake, has died at the age of 71, his publisher has announced. Sansom first introduced readers to Shardlake - a lawyer who solves crimes while navigating the religious reforms and political intrigue of Tudor England - in the 2003 book Dissolution. The Scottish writer released six further novels featuring Shardlake, as well as two standalone historical novels, Winter In Madrid and Dominion.
'Chris was so proud of all the work and determination that went into bringing the novels to our television screens, which I hope will bring an entirely new audience to the books and which will maybe also inspire some old fans to return to their favourite CJ Sansom novels.' Sansom's long-time editor and publisher, Maria Rejt, added that Sansom was working on a new Shardlake book but his 'worsening health made progress painfully slow'.
