London, 1888. George Hart has survived campaigns in southern Africa and Afghanistan, won the Victoria Cross and married, but gambling debts leave him unable to refuse an assignment as companion and protector to Prince Albert Victor, Queen Victoria’s grandson and second in line to the throne. The prince’s nightlife, sexuality and vulnerability to political blackmail make the task dangerous before any crime is committed.
When women are murdered in Whitechapel on nights connected to the prince’s visits to the East End, Hart investigates a conspiracy that threatens both the monarchy and the people being sacrificed to protect it. The novel combines the George Hart story with the Jack the Ripper murders, using Victorian London’s sharp divisions of class, race and sexuality to test Hart’s loyalty to the Crown.
