But also in 1679, England is awash with suspicion and fear. In this maelstrom of distrust, Pepys finds himself at the heart of a conspiracy, charged with treason and facing a crooked trial and potential execution.
The only person who can save him is his brother, Balthazar, and Balthazar's twin children, Betty and Sam - precociously smart and deviously determined - and the three set off on a journey to prove Pepys' innocence.
