S. G. MacLean returns to the world of Damian Seeker, but Cromwell
is dead and Charles Stuart restored to the throne. Men who
supported the Protector must be hunted down as traitors. Perfect
for fans of Robert Harris and Andrew Taylor. 'S. G. MacLean can
make any historical period sing with life' Antonia Hodgson By the
summer of 1660 the last remnants of the Republic have been swept
away and the Stuarts have been restored under their king, Charles
II. A list of regicides believed to be involved in the death of
Charles I is drawn up. Gruesome executions begin to take place and
the hunt intensifies for those who have gone into hiding at home or
abroad. Although not a regicide, staunch Republican Damian Seeker
is on a list of traitors to the king. Royalist spy, Lady Anne
Winter, is employed to find evidence of guilt or innocence among
the names on this Winter List. Seeker has fled England but his
beloved daughter Manon remains, married to Seeker's friend, the
lawyer Lawrence Ingolby, and living in York. As the conduit to her
father and to others on the Winter List and surrounded by spies and
watchers, Manon lives in constant danger and fear of discovery. One
of those spies is closer than even she could have imagined.
