In this audiobook, Sergeant Watters finds himself overwhelmed with three simultaneous cases. With a case of poisoning, a series of child kidnappings, and somebody with a seeming dislike of clocks and watches, Watters and his team are stretched thin. Things become even more complicated when a circus comes to Dundee, and Watters has to help raid an illegal gambling den. Fortunately, Dr. Beaton is there to help. But who is the mysterious man who crosses his path in Dundee, and why would anyone wish to kidnap boys from impoverished backgrounds?

An assassin sent by Arma Dei disappears into the night, with him a collection of heretical art and writings. For five centuries, the satchel—containing sketches and writings by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and many others—is pursued by kings, popes, princes, and scavengers. The Paletti notebook lives on through rumor and legend, which also suggest that it contains the infamous Gospel of Matthias, thought to be lost forever.
