The Damian Seeker series by S.G. MacLean is a seven-book espionage thriller sequence set in 17th century London, opening with The Seeker in 2015. The subtitle attached to The Black Friar — “a captivating spy thriller series set in 17th century London” — confirms the period setting, and titles like Destroying Angel (2018) and The House of Lamentations (2020) keep the atmosphere dark throughout.
The series ran regularly from 2015 to 2020 before concluding with The Winter List in 2023. Reading from The Seeker in order is the best approach, as Damian Seeker is a recurring protagonist whose investigations and relationships develop across all seven books.
