The year is 1588 and England is threatened with invasion. You have heard how the Jesuit agent, Father Pole, was recaptured after his attempts to escape from the Tower of London. Now, at the moment of his execution, Martin Aylmer and Nicholas Renny have been ordered to listen secretly to the priest's last interview with his sister. An unsavoury task, but Father Pole had been plotting against the safety of the realm, and it is vital that Walsingham should know what is meant by the pitchfork wi-th three prongs.'
