Publisher's summary

International bestseller Jeffrey Archer returns

A THRILLER FROM THE MASTER STORYTELLER

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…

Critic reviews

‘Only someone like Jeffrey Archer . . . could have written a compelling story like this. Every page bristles with suspense and the ending comes at you with the force of a tank round’ DAVID BALDACCI

Great Story, Greater Performance, Simple Errors

As with JA's other books, he really does have the gift of telling a great story, and we (my wife and I) were absorbed in the story and the characters. What a pity that, even with 18 rewrites, he (and his Editor) allows simple, silly (and unbelievable) errors to creep in to the story. In his last book we recommended he employ a (better?) consultant on legal issues, and after listening to this book, he clearly needs a (better?) aviation consultant, and a (better) military/naval consultant. If one gets over those silly (and far fetched) issues - and we did - the listen was great, not least because of an excellent narrator!
