Inhaltsangabe:

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 - ultimately - murder. Using rare access to Pepys' account of the affair, James Long and Ben Long brilliantly evoke a turbulent period in England's history?and tell the forgotten story of the two most dangerous years in the life of the legendary diarist.
