About this listen

Multi-award-winning historical thriller writer S. G. MacLean returns to her 17th-century heartland. Charles II has been restored to the throne. A list of men who supported Cromwell must be hunted down to face a terrible traitor's death. On that list is the name of Damian Seeker.

By the summer of 1660 the last remnants of the Republic have been swept away and the Stuarts have been restored under their king, Charles II. A list of forty-nine regicides believed to be involved in the death of Charles I is drawn up. Executions of the regicides begin to take place and the hunt intensifies for those who have gone into hiding or have fled.

Although not a regicide, staunch Republican Damian Seeker is on a list of traitors to the king. Royalist spy Lady Anne Winter is employed to find evidence of guilt or innocence among the names on this Winter List. Seeker has fled but his beloved daughter Manon remains in England, married to lawyer Lawrence Ingolby, and living in York. As the conduit to her father and to others on the Winter List and surrounded by spies and watchers, Manon lives in constant danger and fear of discovery.

Excellent story, but missed Seeker

It was an excellent story with well known characters from previous books, but the abscence of Seeker was a bit of a let down. Excellent performance.

So Enjoyable

First Seeker, but not the first for this Author. Will now go back and listen to all the other Seeker’s while I wait to hear what happens next. Simply riveting.

A superb Seeker story

Jonathan Keeble is on of the best and favourite narrators.
A really good story of double dealing and deceit in the times after Cromwell. Based on historical events and includes all the characters we have gotten to know in this excellent series of books.

Super characters and plot

The interaction between the characters was excellent. The plot left you feeling very tense and apprehensive.
Very enjoyable even without Damian.

Great

Yes, more of Seeker and Maria would have been pleasant, but ‘Bear Pit’ was heavily drawn from the Ingleby/Sir Thomas past and present dynamic, so that seeing this taken up here -and in Yorkshire - was expected and it worked. Winter here not as complex a character as previous drawn but……I suspect that may be a device for later writing. Griselda and Ogilvie denouement was very moving. Nice narration as ever although some odd ‘highlands’ variations!

Great Story Again

The Seeker story is interesting not only for the entertainment value but also historical content. I especially enjoy the family connections with all the previous episodes when names come back to remind me.
