About this listen

A sleuth to rival Shardlake or Cadfael - a mystery that will chill your blood.

'Transports your body and soul to another time and place' CRAIG RUSSELL
'A delight on all levels . . . engaging and moving' MANDA SCOTT
'A truly memorable and exciting read' HISTORICAL NOVELS REVIEW

Banff, Scotland in the 1620s. A young man walks unsteadily through the streets. Is he just drunk or is there something more sinister happening? When he collapses in front of two sisters on that dark, wet night, the women guess that he's been poisoned.

His body is discovered in the house of Alexander Seaton - a fallen minister, the discovery of whose clandestine love affair has left him disgraced.

Why was the body in Seaton's house? And why would anyone want to murder this likeable young man? Seaton sets out to find answers, embarking on a journey not only through the darkest part of other men's souls, but also his own.

A must for fans of Rory Clements and SJ Parris.

Well structured, gripping story with great characterisation. Clever story development that gives very few clues as to the murderous perpetrator only made clear at the end. Wonderful read (or listen).
