Description

|
|
|
In 1679, England's fears of conspiracy and religious terrorism have inspired panic in the government and a zealous reaction from the legal system. Everywhere—or so it is feared—Catholic agents are plotting to overthrow the king. Samuel Pepys, Secretary of the Admiralty, finds himself charged with treason and facing a show trial and execution. Imprisoned in the Tower of London, Pepys sets to work investigating his mysterious accuser, Colonel John Scott, and uncovers a life riddled with ambition, forgery, treason, and murder. Mining Pepys' own account of the affair, James and Ben Long brilliantly evoke a turbulent period in England's history and recount two dangerous years in the life of the legendary diarist.
