Opasnye vremena. V sentyabre 1666 goda Velikiy pozhar prevratil London v ruiny. Spustya vosem' mesyacev nachinaetsya vosstanovlenie goroda. No za chey schet? Eto dolzhen reshit' nepodkupnyy Pozharnyy sud, poetomu vladel'cy i arendatory sgorevshih domov vedut ozhestochennuyu bor'bu, chtoby sud reshil delo v ih pol'zu. I cena pobedy byvaet slishkom vysoka... Zagadochnye smerti. Dzheyms Marvud, klerk na pravitel'stvennoy sluzhbe i syn gosudarstvennogo prestupnika, uznayot, chto ego otec obnaruzhil telo nekoy zhenshchiny ryadom s mestom zasedaniya Pozharnogo suda. Nazavtra starik pogibaet, popav pod povozku na ozhivlennoy ulice. Neschastnyy sluchay? Ili eshche odno ubiystvo?.. Pogonya za ubiycey. Preispolnennyy reshimosti raskryt' pravdu, Marvud obrashchaetsya k edinstvennomu cheloveku, kotoromu mozhet doveryat', — eto Ket Lovett, doch' careubiycy, uchastvovavshego v zagovore protiv korolya Karla I. Kogda-to Marvud spas ey zhizn', teper' prishla ee ochered' pomoch' emu. No vse menyaet smert' eshche odnoy zhertvy... Dzheyms i Ket vynuzhdeny protivostoyat' otchayavshemusya prestupniku, ch'i deystviya ugrozhayut ne tol'ko im samim, no i budushchemu vsego Londona... Vpervye na russkom!
