| Summary: | Britain is at war<U+2014>but the greatest threat to the Crown might be within the Palace walls. London, 1941: Major Edgar Brampton is found shot dead in his office in Buckingham Palace. All signs point towards a self-inflicted tragedy, but when Palace authorities hurry his body away and order staff to stay silent, fellow courtier Guy Harford<U+2019>s suspicions are raised. While the outside world faces the onslaught of war, within the Palace walls a curious mystery unfolds. Rumours swirl about Brampton<U+2019>s relationship with the Queen, and there<U+2019>s talk of other plots involving those closest to the King. To get to the bottom of what really happened, Guy joins forces with some unlikely allies<U+2014>Rodie Carr, a beautiful East End burglar, and Rupert Hardacre, a postman with a past<U+2014>but time may be running out<U+2026>for him, for the King, and for Britain. Someone has their eye on the crown, and they<U+2019>ll do anything to get it. Can Guy solve the case before more blood is spilled on the royal carpets? Or will he be the next victim? |
