London, 1655. Workmen at the ruined Blackfriars monastery uncover the preserved body of a Dominican friar sealed inside a wall. Damian Seeker recognises the dead man, and the discovery becomes more urgent when children begin disappearing from the streets around the city.

Seeker follows the connection between the friar, the missing children and factions plotting against Oliver Cromwell’s government. Religious radicals, Royalist agents and divided members of the security service all have reasons to obstruct him, forcing Seeker to determine whether the old corpse conceals a recent conspiracy inside the Protectorate itself.
