In 1650 Luke is sent to Maryland on a joint mission: Catholic
proprietor Lord Baltimore seeks to understand his collapsing
authority, and General Cromwell needs to assess the situation as a
precursor to the English republic's planned attack on the remaining
Royalist colonies on the Chesapeake. Luke becomes involved with a
dysfunctional planter family of an old adversary which is beset by
a series of murders that may stem from an atrocity committed years
earlier in England, or from the current political turmoil on the
Chesapeake. The situation involves a family breakdown, bitter
planter rivalries, piracy, renegade Amerindians, a major Indian
conflict, problems along the Delaware, violent weather conditions,
a Puritan settlement expelled from Virginia and invited by
Baltimore to settle in Maryland - an offer repaid by their
determination to reject their Papist overlord and erect God's
kingdom, the machinations of neighbouring Virginia, the recreation
of a Jesuit mission and the clandestine incursion of a foreign
power. Luke struggles to solve the murders and save the Chesapeake
for England.
