Thomas Chaloner, just returned from Spain and Portugal, finds London dank and grey under leaden skies. He finds many things changed, including the Government slapping a tax on printed newspapers. Hand written news reports escape the duty, and the rivalry between the producers of the two conduits of news is escalating. It seems that a number of citizens have come to untimely deaths. Chaloner is despatched to investigate the death of a lawyer with links to "the Butcher of Smithfield', a shady trader surrounded by a fearsome gang of thugs who terrorise the streets well beyond Smithfield market.
