Exeter, August 1556. Jack’s return to London is delayed by a murdered priest, organised thieves and a dean who wants him removed from the city. When merchant Wolfe offers a sea passage east, Jack accepts rather than remain trapped in another local investigation.

The voyage brings missing ships, piracy and commercial rivalries into the murder enquiry. Jack must work out whether the dead priest, the merchants and attacks at sea form one conspiracy while protecting the money and limbs he values more consistently than loyalty or public duty.
