Sansom does for Henry VIII's' Sunday Times Justin spurred Copper forward and the stallion responded like a launched arrow, sending up a spray of snow as he lengthened stride. Within moments, they were in the clear. Glancing over his shoulder, Justin saw no movement, suspicious or otherwise.

He does have one close friend, the 90-year-old Frank, who patiently listens to Talt’s endless stories about his detective work. When Frank suffers a stroke, Talt seems genuinely upset, although his apparently endless capacity for self-delusion becomes further evident when he comments, “I think Frank lived for this case.”

A pesar de contar con el respaldo del secretario de la reina, el puesto de mayor poder tras la propia monarca, nadie respeta la autoridad de John.

Full of swordplay, bawdy byplay and derring-do, The Queen's Man is a full-bodied historical romp, steeped in period detail.” - The Houston Chronicle Justin's eyes were darker than Aubrey had ever seen them, a storm-sky grey. "Her death was convenient, was it not? How disappointed you must have been that I was not stillborn, for then you could have buried all your sins in one grave." The man shifted uncomfortably. "It is just that ... that the lad seems sorely distraught, my lord. In truth, I've never seen him like this. I do not think he's of a mind to wait." The man's face was shadowed by his leper's cloak. Whether it also hid the ravages of his disease, Justin could not tell, but he did get a glimpse of the leper's mutilated hand, with stumps where fingers ought to have been. His own plight suddenly seemed less perilous, and Justin fumbled for his money pouch, leaned over, and dropped a farthing into the alms bowl, ashamed that he could spare so little.

After an angry Justin confronts the Bishop of Chester, Aubrey de Quincy, and accuses the high-born churchman of being his father and hiding this fact for twenty years, he rashly leaves Aubrey's house forever. Justin had been told his mother was a whore. He believed Aubrey a benefactor who had taken pity on him. Aubrey had given Justin a home and a first-class education since he had been a baby. Justin cannot forgive Aubrey in particular for lying about his mother. Lord Fitz Alan had dismissed him, angered by his stubborn refusal to explain why he'd not returned from Shrewsbury straightaway as instructed. Justin was not entirely sorry to go, for Fitz Alan was part of a past he wanted only to repudiate. His one regret was that when his father learned of this, he'd think Justin had kept quiet for his sake. The truth was that the wound was still too raw. Nothing could have induced Justin to let Fitz Alan know how badly he was bleeding.

Sharon Kay Penman's The Queen's Man is the first book in her bestselling medieval mystery series featuring Justin de Quincy Justin looked at him, saying nothing. The silence seemed to fill every corner of the chapel, every corner of their lives. When Aubrey could endure it no longer, he said, "This night never happened. We need not refer to it again." Two tall candles were lit upon the altar, and glowing between them was the silver-gilt crucifix that was Aubrey's particular pride, both as a symbol of faith and as a work of art. Reaching out, he ran his fingers lightly over the smooth surface while bracing himself for what was to come.
