![]() ![]() ![]() Since the Yard is overwhelmed with the hunt for Jack the Ripper, who’s terrorizing London, Archibond asks the sleuthing duo to recover a diamond star that the princess's eldest son, Prince Albert Victor, aka Eddy, has given to Madame Aurore, the owner of a private sex club. The meeting is fraught, for Veronica is the unacknowledged daughter of the Prince of Wales, who deserted Veronica and her Catholic mother to marry Alexandra of Denmark. Lady Wellingtonia Beauclerk, a power in royal circles, calls them to a meeting with the Princess of Wales and Inspector Archibond of Scotland Yard. Just when the highly independent Veronica is about to commit to a full physical relationship-"The truth, dear reader, is that I was as ready for him as any filly ready for the stud"-a new case hurls them into perhaps their most dangerous adventure yet. Through many a wild escapade ( A Dangerous Collaboration, 2019, etc.), Veronica Speedwell and Stoker Templeton-Vane have danced around their passionate feelings for each other. An eccentric pair of late-Victorian detectives delve into a case involving the royal family. ![]()
