London, 1654. Damian Seeker is the most feared agent in Oliver Cromwell’s security apparatus, moving through a city crowded with soldiers, exiles, merchants and informers. When army hero John Winter is murdered and republican critic Elias Ellingworth is discovered beside the body holding a knife, the evidence appears conclusive.

Seeker doubts that Ellingworth is guilty and begins tracing the victim’s political and private connections. His inquiry crosses coffee houses, government offices and clandestine Royalist circles, revealing a conspiracy that depends on the Protectorate’s suspicion of its enemies and on the willingness of officials to accept a convenient culprit.
