Charles II is established at White Hall Palace. Citizens have lost livelihoods. Thomas Chaloner, a spy for Secretary of State, John Thurloe. John recommends Thomas to Lord Clarendon. He is dispatched to the Tower to unearth gold buried by the last Governor.
A lot of attention to detail which gets too tedious & slows the reading down. Characters are not well-drawn. Chaloner not an interesting character. I cannot recommend this series. Too wordy!
