Summary
This literary mystery takes place in 1660 London, when a man named Isaac Inchbold is hired to find a manuscript that disappeared from a rural castle during one of Cromwell's raids. As Isaac searches for the manuscript and tries to unravel its mysteries, he also learns a great deal about the family who has engaged him, and about their enigmatic family motto, "Littera Scripta Manet."

Media Reviews
"An unusually literate historical mystery....Readers who willingly lost themselves in Iain Pears's AN INSTANCE OF THE FINGERPOST should know that King has written its entirely worthy successor."
-- Kirkus
"This is a rollicking good yarn. Inchbold...is an engaging hero and the London of Aubrey, Evelyn, and Pepys is well recreated in its splendors and horrors." -- Barry Baldwin
