Durante el verano de 1523 Benjamín Daunbey y Roger Shallot reciben la orden de acudir a Londres para hacerse cargo de una difícil investigación, resolver la enigmática muerte de un diplomático florentino de paso por la corte, Francesco Abrizzi. Su cadáver ha sido hallado con un extraño disparo en la cabeza, y el rey Enrique VIII está firmemente determinado a desenmascarar a los culpables de este crimen brutal que pone en entredicho su hospitalidad y sus buenas relaciones con los Médici. Pero todo se tuerce desde el principio: el cirujano que debía colaborar con Shallot aparece muerto, antes incluso de llegar a Londres, y toda su misión estará marcada por acontecimientos sospechosos.
