Gathering intel, chasing leads, and cracking heads are all part of a days work for Detective Chief Superintendent William Melville, bodyguard to Queen Victorias son and heir to the throne, Prince Albert. But when the Queen dies, prompting most of Europes royalty to converge on London for the funeral, Melville receives a tip about a planned attempt on the German Kaisers life led by a mysterious anarchist known as Akushku. As Melville and his German counterpart, Gustav Steinhauer, race to uncover exactly what Akushku has planned, they find themselves drawn into a world of brutal violence, illicit romance, and bitter class warfare. And all the while, Akushku dances just out of reach, ensnaring rich and poor alike in his web. As the day of the funeral approaches, Melville realizes that far more than the Kaisers life is at stake--if he cant reach Akushku in time, he risks the destruction of the very realm hes sworn to protect--
