When Oliver Cromwell dies and the Commonwealth collapses, former Parliamentarian intelligencer Thomas Chaloner loses the service that defined his adult life. After the monarchy is restored, the Earl of Clarendon reluctantly employs him to investigate rumours of hidden gold inside the Tower of London.

The assignment leads Chaloner towards secret passages, competing claims and the suspicious death of the man who previously served Clarendon. In a capital where former enemies are rapidly changing allegiance, he must solve the murder while proving that his own republican past does not make him a threat to the restored regime.
