En el Londres de 1540, durante el verano más caluroso del siglo XVI, Matthew Shardlake se ve envuelto en un caso de asesinato que lo lleva a una nueva misión. El secreto del Fuego Griego, una sustancia legendaria con la que los bizantinos destruyeron las armadas árabes, se ha perdido durante siglos. Ahora, un funcionario de la Corte de Aumentos ha descubierto la fórmula en la biblioteca de un monasterio disuelto de Londres. Cuando Shardlake es enviado a recuperarla, encuentra al funcionario y a su hermano alquimista brutalmente asesinados, la fórmula ha desaparecido. Shardlake debe seguir el rastro del Fuego Griego a través del Londres Tudor, mientras intenta demostrar la inocencia de su joven cliente. Pero pronto descubre que nada es lo que parece.
