"Cardinal Black" is the 7th installment in Robert McCammon's series of historical thrillers featuring Matthew Corbett, a professional problem solver, who has been called the "Early American James Bond."

Set in 1703, Matthew Corbett picks up the plot threads left untied at the end of 2016's “Freedom of the Mask” with Matthew's sweetheart, Berry Grigsby, under the influence of a drug that threatens to destroy her mind if an antidote isn't administered. Matthew teams with Julian Devane, an assassin retailer associate of his nemesis, Professor Fell, and the two race to retrieve the book of chemical and botanical potions stolen from the professor that can save Berry. In no time the two are embroiled in intrigues in the London underworld involving a rogue admiral of the Royal Navy, a pair of Prussian operatives, a gothic femme fatale outfitted with talons, and the titular infernal villain, who's auctioning the book to a cabal of international villains.
