CJ Sansom, author of the best-selling historical Shardlake novels, which have been adapted for TV by Disney+, has died aged 71.
He passed away on April 27 after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2012. Sansom’s publisher, Pan Macmillan, announced his death yesterday on X and its website. “I shall miss him hugely, not only as a wonderfully talented writer who gave joy to millions, but as a dear friend of enormous compassion and integrity,” said his longtime editor Maria Rejt.
Rejt called Sansom an “intensely private person” who always wished to be published “quietly and without fanfare”. “He worked tirelessly on each book, never wanting to disappoint a single reader,” she continued.
His agent, Antony Topping, said he appreciated his “joyful and piercing sense of humour”, adding that Sansom preferred to be known through his novels and was exclusive in his personal relationships.
