Prince Friedrich gave up his crown and his country for Princess Gisela. Now, twelve years later, he has died and Countess Zorah Rostova--living in Victorian London--has accused the princess of murder. But when the countess is charged with slander, she comes to Sir Oliver Rathbone for help. Rathbone calls upon his friend William Monk to investigate, embroiling him and nurse Hester Latterly in a notorious case of royal scandal and murder.
