London, August 1558. A Dutch merchant renting Jack’s property disappears and is presumed murdered; soon afterwards, a woman Jack has been visiting is found dead nearby. His reputation and proximity make him the preferred suspect for both authorities and criminals.

Foreign trade is expanding while Mary I’s declining health intensifies speculation about Princess Elizabeth’s succession. Jack must use contacts in respectable and disreputable London to connect the deaths, establish what the merchant was hiding and avoid execution before the political order changes around him.
