About this listen
'S. G. MacLean can make any historical period sing with life' Antonia Hodgson
Murder, treachery and a reckoning with his past await Captain Damian Seeker in this gripping historical thriller.
Yorkshire, 1655. Seeker has been ordered to the North - a place from which he fled a decade earlier. A routine visit to the village of Faithly turns ugly when the village commissioner's ward is poisoned at a dinner for locals.
Among those invited was the government-appointed enforcer of Puritan morality in the region. Perhaps this symbol of Cromwell's power was the intended victim? Or Seeker himself? Or was it the young woman, who had a magic way with herbs and was rumoured to be a witch?
As he investigates the girl's death, old secrets come to haunt Seeker. A painful meeting will force a reckoning between his past and present. But with a prominent Royalist on the run in Yorkshire, and a murderer still at large, any distractions could prove deadly.

Critic Reviews
A suspenseful, atmospheric addition to one of the best historical crime series around
Different elements are cleverly melded, with MacLean's depiction of the paranoia and fear caused by the Trier and his court particularly chilling and believable, as well as her talent for character development that makes the enigmatic Seeker such a compelling protagonist
The narrator is brilliant but unfortunately this story’s didn’t grip me as much as the first two.
Great narration
