England, 1897. London is preparing for Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Fifty thousand troops from across her vast Empire will gather in the capital and over a million Britons will be watching her ride in state. Lord Francis Powerscourt, a private investigator, is called in when a body is found floating in the Thames. Before long, a second corpse is found - burnt to death in a locked room. As the investigation proceeds, Powerscourt realizes that more is at stake than murder - upon his success or failure lies the triumph of the Imperial Jubilee.
