Black Friar

London, 1655: Damian Seeker, Captain of Cromwell's Guard, is all too aware of the danger facing Cromwell. When a stonemason uncovers a body dressed in the robes of a Dominican friar bricked up in a wall, ill-informed rumours circulate. Seeker, who instantly recognises the dead man, must discover why he met such a hideous end. Unravelling these mysteries is made still harder by the activities of individuals who are not what they seem.
