'I
was
seduced
from
John
Grey's
first
scene'
Ann
CleevesJohn
Grey
is
visited
at
his
London
office
by
Thomas
Cade,
a
shipbuilder,
who
tells
Grey
he
has
evidence
that
Samuel
Pepys
is
taking
substantial
bribes
in
his
position
at
the
Naval
Office.
Grey
sends
him
on
his
way,
telling
him
he
has
little
chance
against
such
a
powerful
man
as
Pepys
-
and
then
the
following
morning
Cade's
stabbed
body
is
found
in
the
grounds
of
Lincoln's
InnLater
that
day
Grey
meets
up
with
his
benefactor
Lord
Arlington
who
tells
him
the
king
himself
wants
Grey
to
investigate
corruption
in
the
Naval
Office
-
and
it
occurs
to
Grey
that
by
dismissing
Cade
to
his
death,
he
has
now
lost
his
best
witness
and
informant.
He
begins
his
investigation
by
questioning
the
dead
man's
wife
-
who
it
transpires
was
having
an
affair
with
Pepys...
as
were
a
great
many
other
ladies.
And
as
the
investigation
becomes
increasingly
hampered
while
the
Court
closes
ranks
and
threats
made
against
his
life,
Grey
begins
to
suspect
that
Arlington's
agenda
is
less
to
do
with
reform
of
the
navy
and
more
to
do
with
gaining
an
advantage
over
his
rivals
at
Court
...Praise
