Description
Damian Seeker, Captain of Cromwell's Guard, must navigate a treacherous web of rebellion and deceit in 17th-century London. A perfectly preserved body, dressed in Dominican friar's robes, is discovered in the crumbling Black Friars, and Seeker is drawn into a complex investigation. As he unravels the mystery, he must confront the darker forces at play in the city, including dissenters, Royalist plotters, and individuals with hidden agendas. The year 1655 is marked by turmoil and upheaval, with Parliament and the Army at odds over control. Amidst this chaos, a series of children's disappearances adds to the sense of unease. Seeker's quest for truth becomes increasingly challenging as he navigates the complex landscape of loyalty, power, and deception. As the stakes grow higher, Seeker must use all his skills and experience to uncover the truth behind the body in the Black Friars and the sinister forces driving the city towards chaos.
