Summary
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...

Holding my breath!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and found myself wondering how on earth things would come out right for the different characters! I had no idea about the anarchists or even the Bolshevists at the turn of the century in England - apart from a mention of Bolshevists in a Just William story ( Richmal Crompton)
But this was serious and the tense atmosphere pervaded the story and I couldn't help feeling sympathy for the characters so beautifully created by the author and brought to life by the narrator. She has been excellent throughout all the books with so many different voices and accents. I wonder how she does it. May I just mention in this story? The black Maria which I can remember in my childhood is pronounced not as Maria in the normal way but as in the word "eye" . Don't know why - just is. Being pedantic - sorry.
Thank you for so many exciting, very different stories. Learned a lot about our history of the time and have been shocked to find out some of the characteristics of people who I had looked up to.
