London, 1988.

Royal fever sweeps the nation as Britain falls in love with the ‘people’s princess’. Which means for Scotland Yard, the focus is on the elite Royalty Protection Command, and its commanding officer. Entrusted with protecting the most famous family on earth, they quite simply have to be the best. A weak link could spell disaster.

Detective Chief Inspector William Warwick and his Scotland Yard squad are sent in to investigate the team. Maverick ex-undercover operative Ross Hogan is charged with a very sensitive—and unique—responsibility. But it soon becomes clear the problems in Royalty Protection are just the beginning. A renegade organization has the security of the country—and the Crown—in its sights.

The only question is which target is next in line…

Booklist—“The Warwick series began with young William as a newly minted police officer, and his rise to the top ranks of the Metropolitan Police Force has given Archer the chance to develop his hero, both as a policeman and as a person. As readers of Archer’s multigenerational historical sagas know, he is very good at telling a character’s story over the course of several books, and the Warwick novels really spotlight that craftsmanship. Archer always brings a strong sense of verisimilitude to his Warwick adventures, as though drawing on real police cases. That’s especially true here, given the book’s downright tantalizing epigraph: “Is this a true story?” Maybe, maybe not. Either way, it’s another excellent novel from a genre master.”
