On a spring morning in London, 1875, Charles Lenox agrees to
take time away from his busy schedule as a member of parliament to meet an old protégé’s
client at Charing Cross. But when their cryptic encounter seems to lead, days
later, to the murder of an innocuous country squire, this fast favor draws
Lenox inexorably back into his old profession. Soon he realizes that, far from
concluding the murderer’s business, this body is only the first step in a cruel
plan, many years in the plotting. Where will he strike next? The answer, Lenox
learns with slowly dawning horror, may be at the very heart of England’s
monarchy.
