{{spoiler|The investigators are either freed Blacks living in Dutch Haarlem, or Black time travelers from a more recent period who find themselves transported to the seventeenth century. Either way, Dutch Haarlem's small Black population is on edge, since the British have gained political control of the area, meaning that previous legal freedoms for people of color may be rescinded. The local Black pastor asks the investigators to investigate the murder of a local man named David Martin; by finding his killer quickly, the pastor hopes to avoid alarming the British and speeding up their takeover. The investigators determine that Martin was killed by a strange being some call the devil or the Black Man—actually an avatar of Nyarlathotep—who is keen to get signatures for the ''Black Book of Azathoth'' in exchange for guarantees of continued freedom under British rule. Eventually, the investigators learn that the Black Man has been active in the area for some decades; in searching the abandoned home where he was once seen, they find underground tunnels (carved by the Mi-Go) and the lair of a shell of a man called the Revenant. The investigators must stop the Black Man's plan from coming to fruition—or else sign the book to end his machinations that way.}}
