The discovery of a headless corpse jeopardises Queen Victoria's glittering Diamond Jubilee!In this second Lord Francis Powerscourt mystery, London is preparing for the 1897 Diamond Jubilee. But one morning a man's corpse with no head or hands is dragged out of the Thames. He is old, but not destitute. With no clues to his identity, the police ask for Powerscourt's assistance. His investigation leads to a mysterious mansion in Oxfordshire, with classical temples in the gardens and in the house a second corpse, killed in a fire. On the track of the murderer, Powerscourt soon realizes that both he and his family are in mortal danger - and the outcome could wreck the Jubilee celebrations.
