Dartmouth, 1373. Geoffrey Chaucer investigates the deliberate wrecking of a Genoese merchant vessel whose lost cargo threatens negotiations between England and Genoa. Lodged in the riverside house of physician Richard Storey and his young wife Sara, he encounters a household divided by desire, money and suspicion.
A murder inside the house suggests that the ship carried something more valuable than ordinary trade goods. Chaucer must distinguish coastal wreckers from political conspirators while Philippa Chaucer, staying at the Savoy Palace, learns of a separate danger to Katherine Swynford and John of Gaunt.
