*** Read Shona MacLean's new novel, The Cromarty Library Circle, out now! ***

Bruges, 1658.


Damian Seeker, Captain of Oliver Cromwell's Guard, is dead. Or so he would have people believe. Now he is just an English carpenter in Bruges - albeit one who takes a keen interest in exiled Royalists.

He is tailing four men who plan to convey a vast fortune to Charles Stuart. They are unaware that one of them is a traitor and that Seeker has been cultivating this turncoat. Now, news reaches him from England that the Royalists are sending an assassin to identify his spy and exact revenge. This would betray Seeker's own identity - and he could expect no mercy.

Once Seeker would have been happy to die for the Republic, but now he has too much to live for. He must find this assassin before they find him.
