Queen Victoria is dead, long live King Edward! Kate and Charles Sheridan are attending the new king’s coronation ceremony when an anarchist blows himself up in Hyde Park, with a bomb that was obviously meant for the Royals.
Now, it’s up to Kate and Charles to discover who is threatening the Crown, and how a brash and arrogant American author named Jack London is involved. Who are the terrorists and what dangers do they really pose? Are the anti-terrorists even more frighteningly dangerous? What happens to truth and innocence when Scotland Yard conspires to spin a spider’s web of lies and false evidence?
If you think these are only contemporary questions, join Kate and Charles Sheridan as they are unwillingly dragged into the dangerous world of turn-of-the-century terrorism.
