Zes moorden, drie continenten, een wereldwijde cultus en een verborgen manuscript
Het anders zo rustige Leiden schrikt op wanneer de voorzitter van de plaatselijke vrijmetselaarsloge op gruwelijke wijze om het leven wordt gebracht. Bijna tegelijkertijd wordt er in een archief een manuscript gevonden waarin een anonieme auteur de tot dan toe verborgen geschiedenis vertelt van de Pilgrim Fathers, de Founding Fathers van de Verenigde Staten. Van 1609 tot 1620 woonden zij in Leiden, waarna een deel van hen naar Amerika vertrok.
Ongewild raakt universitair docent Peter de Haan bij deze zaken betrokken. Waarom bleef zo'n groot deel van de Pilgrim Fathers in Leiden achter? Wat hebben de vrijmetselaars daarmee te maken? En welke relatie onderhield Peters vriendin met de vermoorde voorzitter?
In razende vaart neemt Windmeijer je mee van de nauwe steegjes van Leiden naar de weidse wateren van Cape Cod in de Nieuwe Wereld tot aan de verzengend hete SinaΓ―woestijn in Egypte. Daar kom je er elke keer weer achter dat de geschiedenis nooit is zoals de boeken ons willen doen geloven.
