Description: Eighteenth century blind magistrate John Fielding and his young protogé Jeremy Proctor are called upon to investigate a man claiming to be Lawrence Paltrow. Paltrow has been missing for years, and has now rather mysteriously reappeared from America just as his older brother is executed, and the estate to which his brother was heir is now available to an authentic claimant. Paltrow convinces his old friends and even his mother that he is who he says he is, but Fielding is not so sure.
