One of the best historical detectives and at the same time historical novels of the twentieth century. A book that is rightly considered a classic of both genres at once. This story happened in the turbulent and dangerous era of the beginning of the Restoration of Charles II. A story of betrayal, murder and a mysterious coded letter that had better remain lost, because it can lead to the scaffolding of very, very many people. A story, four versions of which are told to us by four different participants in the events. But which of them is telling the truth, who is lying, who is keeping silent about something, and who doesn't know the truth himself? A good-hearted and frivolous Venetian, who does not understand the meaning of what is happening in a foreign country? A fanatically religious young Puritan boy willing to do anything to clear his father of treason charges? One of Cromwell's best secret agents, now up to his own dangerous game? Or a thoughtful historian, unfortunate enough to fall in love with an "unsuitable" girl...?
