London, 1386. Young King Richard II faces the double threat of a French invasion and growing unrest amongst his barons - and now there's evil afoot in the City. 16 corpses have been found in a sewer, their wounds like none ever seen before. One thing is clear: whoever threw the bodies into the sewer knew they would be discovered - and was powerful enough not to care. Enter John Gower, poet and intellectual whose 'peculiar vocation' is dealing in men's secrets. Against the backdrop of medieval London with its grand palaces and churches, dark alleys and mean backstreets, Gower pursues his dangerous quarry.
