It is Midsummer, 1631. While Alexander Seaton and his fellow masters enjoy the holiday with their students, Robert Sim, librarian of Marischal College, is murdered in a dark alleyway in town. While the university and town authorities investigate the murder, Seaton is asked by the college principal to look into Sim's private life. In the course of an investigation in which his personal feelings threaten to cloud his judgement and endanger his young marriage to Sarah, he discovers a side to the librarian he could never have guessed at. It is only when a second, apparently unrelated murder comes to light that Seaton begins to piece together the connections between a young weaver, a consignment of books, and events in a college in the Low Countries in order to unmask the perpetrator of the years'-old deception that led to the two deaths.

Escocia. Siglo Diescisiete. El cuerpo envenenado de Patrick Davidson aparece en la escuela donde Alexander Seaton imparte clases, y su amigo Charles es detenido e imputado por el crimen. Alexander Seaton, cuyo sueno de convertirse en pastor protestante se vio truncado por una historia de amor con la hija de un aristocrata y su expulsion de la Iglesia, inicia un viaje para desenmascarar al verdadero asesino y demostrar la inocencia de su amigo. En ese momento ignora que el periplo le obligara a enfrentarse a si mismo, reconocer sus miedos y sus errores, y combatir el agonizante sentimiento de culpa que no le deja vivir en paz.
