Creator of the Victorian detective series, McLevy, David Ashton returns with a hero - in the unlikely guise of 17th century scientific genius, Isaac Newton.

Starring William Gaminara.

After 30 years as a Cambridge academic, Newton takes up a new post at the Royal Mint in the Tower of London.

Soon he's diving into notorious drinking dens and interrogating prisoners in jail in pursuit of a counterfeiting gang. But can he catch the ringleaders before their criminal plans trigger a huge financial crash that threatens to topple the Government?
