Yorkshire, 1655. Damian Seeker is sent north to help impose the rule of the major-generals and is placed under Colonel Robert Lilburne at York. A visit to the village of Faithly turns into a murder inquiry when a young woman is poisoned during a dinner attended by the local community.

The village is divided by Royalist loyalties, religious hostility and old grievances, while Seeker’s own history in the north makes him vulnerable to people who remember him before he entered Cromwell’s service. As further evidence points toward a wider challenge to the government, he must separate political conspiracy from a killer’s personal reckoning.
