Free eBook 'The gold guinea coins produced by the mint are adulterated. The economic welfare of the nation is imperilled – a serious offense –treason.’ The President of the Trial sums up. ‘The punishment for treason is a long jail sentence, even hanging.’ Isaac Newton, the famous scientist, stands in the dock at the Trial of the Pyx, Goldsmith’s Hall, London. The year is 1701. Newton is Master of the Mint. Although innocent of adulterating the coins, he is responsible. Newton’s control of the coin production is strict. The adulteration mystifies him. The trial humiliates him; his pride is shattered. Granted one month to identify the culprits, he is determined to use his genius to uncover how the coins are being adulterated and the mastermind behind it: a vengeful criminal with an instinct for crime. Newton has sent many adulterers of coins to be hanged at Tyburn gallows – will it now be Newton’s turn to swing?
