When Miss Lydia Garrett's guardian is murdered, and the
authorities refuse to investigate the odd circumstances, she
vows to catch the culprit. The same night the Earl of
Danbury is murdered in his bed. Against all odds it appears
that the murders are related - and Anthony Douglas, the new
Lord Danbury, is bent on revenge. The clues point to the former Earl's first naval command. In
1758 the Earl spirited away and hid the magnificent Peacock
Throne at the behest of the Indian royal family. To draw out
the murderer, Anthony and Lydia agree that they must locate
the throne. However, they are not the only ones interested
in the Peacock Throne.
Marcus Wiltshire, agent of His Majesty's intelligence
services, has received hints that Bonaparte intends to
return the throne to India and leverage its mystical
significance to foment rebellion and cut England off from
her most important trading partner. When the amateur sleuths
join forces with the professional agent, the quest for the
throne leads them around the globe on an adventure steeped
in danger, treachery, and romance.
