London, May 1556. Executioner Hal Westmecott demands repayment of a favour by ordering Jack to find his long-missing son. The search leads from the executioner’s household to a dead priest’s relatives, a hostile nobleman and a bloodstained lodging where another body suggests a wider design.

Jack gradually understands that several powerful interests are using the disappearance for different purposes. In a city shaped by Mary I’s government, patronage and punishment, he must decide which threats are genuine and which have been arranged to make him carry responsibility for another man’s scheme.
