Resumen del Editor

Coronation Day, 1902. Charles and Kate Sheridan are pleased to be witness to the crowning of their king. Expatriate author Jack London is also watching the festivities—but with a more skeptical eye. He has come to London to write an exposé of the East End slums—and the coronation has not tempered his disdain for the monarchy.

This special day takes a sinister turn when an anarchist accidentally blows himself up with a bomb meant for the king. Charged with determining the extent of the danger facing the Crown, Charles and Kate turn up a number of intriguing—and disturbing—questions.

And then there is the matter of the mysterious, beautiful Charlotte Conway, editor of the anarchist newspaper where the dead man was employed. On the run from Scotland Yard, she takes refuge in Kate and Charles's home—and in Jack London's arms. All of which makes for a very interesting investigation indeed...

Enjoyable overall

What I liked: The authors’ use of actual historical figures. They do this in all their books and it makes the reading interactive because I always look up the person they’re writing about. The trial was really well done, suspenseful even. When the authors focus more on action and dialog is when the story becomes truly engrossing.
What I don’t like as much: There is so much detail and background of what they’re writing about, in this case, anarchism, that I feel like I’m in a classroom and the book seems to drag in places.

Not my favorite

I do so enjoy this series. This is my least favorite however. Still looking forward to the next one.
