Description
It is January 1721. London is reeling from the effects of the greatest financial scandal of the age, the collapse of the South Sea Bubble. William Spandrel, a penniless mapmaker, is offered a discharge of his debts by his principal creditor, Sir Theodore Janssen, a director of the South Sea Company, on one condition: he must secretly convey an important package to a friend of Janssen’s, Ysbrand de Vries, in Amsterdam.
Afterwards, Spandrel realizes that he has become a pawn in several people’s games. British Government agents are on his trail, believing that the mysterious package contained secret details of the great South Sea scandal – secrets so explosive that their publication could spark a revolution in England.
Spandrel’s only chance of survival is to recover the package and place its contents in the right hands.
