'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.

the proper understanding of redemption!

the richness of the use of language. the intricacies of the plot and story. the satisfaction with the conclusion are all blessings from this work!!!

Historical detective that has great potential

A wonderful story and an instant connection with the characters. To be honest, sometimes the story was sculpted too much around certain plot twists to fit the mold. However the depth, intelligence and vast amount of historical details really made this a joy to read/hear
