Newly appointed as the king’s coroner, Sir Law Kintour investigates the death of an unidentified stranger in Perth. The case begins as James I prepares to confront a rebellious duke, placing the city under the strain of mobilisation, faction and rumour.

Evidence of a hired assassin turns the unknown victim into part of a wider political threat. Law must determine who has been marked for death and whether the killer serves the crown’s enemies or someone within royal government, while his official position makes failure an act with consequences far beyond one murder.
