In 1650 Luke is sent to Maryland on a joint mission: Catholic proprietor Lord Baltimore seeks to understand his collapsing authority, and General Cromwell needs to assess the situation as a precursor to the English republics planned attack on the remaining Royalist colonies on the Chesapeake. Luke becomes involved with a dysfunctional planter family of an old adversary which is beset by a series of murders that may stem from an atrocity committed years earlier in England, or from the current political turmoil on the Chesapeake. The situation involves a family breakdown, bitter planter rivalries, piracy, renegade Amerindians, a major Indian conflict, problems along the Delaware, violent weather conditions , a Puritan settlement expelled from Virginia and invited by Baltimore to settle in Maryland - an offer repaid by their determination to reject their Papist overlord and erect Gods kingdom, the machinations of neighbouring Virginia, the recreation of a Jesuit mission and the clandestine incursion of a foreign power. Luke struggles to solve the murders and save the Chesapeake for England.

Jerry soon finds his psychic radar jammed time and time again as each van seems to harbor something keeping him from homing on the one they are looking for. It soon becomes apparent that if they are going to have any luck landing the killer, Jerry is going to have to agree to Fred's plan of casting a wide net and using the most sought-after bait to entice the Hash Mark Killer into the open. Bait like Susie Richardson, the only living person who can positively identify the man. It's all hands on deck as Max and Savannah come on board to help Jerry and Gunter and to help keep Susie safe. Will the gang be able to use their combined gifts to lure in the Hash Mark Killer? Or will he prove too slippery to be caught?

In early 1657, Cromwell, after surviving three assassination attempts, turned to his top investigator, Luke Tremayne, to hunt the would- be killer. Elements in the army feared that Cromwell would become king and his government fall increasingly into the hands of civilians. Royalist agents played on this fear and planned to take over a strategic military unit to then overthrow the government. Luke had to uncover the leaders of this plan before they achieved their aim. Lukes task increased as he had to solve the murders of his initial suspects, who were battered, stabbed, blown apart, or brutally decapitated. The murders may be related to sexual dalliances and not related to the royalist takeover. Homosexual attraction complicated the situation. Lonely matriarchs, an adulterous wife, a predatory femme fatale, a mentally disturbed young woman, and several besotted wenches may or may not have helped his investigation. Luke was nearly blown apart, bashed by an assailant, shot at twice, almost poisoned on several occasions, drugged, and in danger of having his throat cut. Confronted with these pressures and the increasing unpopularity of Cromwells government, can he stay on mission and capture the assassin, find the murderer, and uncover the royalist plotters?
