Imprisoned in the Tower of London and abandoned by the embattled King, Pepys knows that time is running out before his show trial and execution. So, with customary brilliance, he sets to work investigating his mysterious accuser, Colonel John Scott, and uncovers a life riddled with ambition, forgery, treason and - ultimately - murder.
Using rare access to Pepys' own account of the affair, James and Ben Long brilliantly evoke a turbulant period in England's history - and tell the forgotten story of the two most dangerous years in the life of the legendary diarist.
