August 1940. On the streets of London, locals watch with growing
concern as German fighter planes plague the city's skyline. But
inside the famous Ritz Hotel, the cream of society continues to
enjoy all the glamour and comfort that money can buy during wartime
- until an anonymous man is discovered with his throat slashed
open. Detective Chief Inspector Coburg is called in to investigate,
no stranger himself to the haunts of the upper echelons of society,
ably assisted by his trusty colleague, Sergeant Lampson. Yet they
soon face a number of obstacles. With the crime committed in rooms
in use by an exiled king and his retinue, there are those who fear
diplomatic repercussions and would rather the case be forgotten.
With mounting pressure from various Intelligence agencies, rival
political factions and gang warfare brewing either side of the
Thames, Coburg and Lampson must untangle a web of deception if they
are to solve the case - and survive.
