Rivalling Anne Perry, the third in the Victorian series by the author of the much-loved Sally Spencer DCI Woodend books BRThe theft of the fabulous Fabergi golden egg from a Russian country estate goes far beyond the bounds of mere robbery. The victim is the Prince of Wales, the egg itself a gift from the Russian Tsar and if the Tsar takes offence at the Prince's carelessness in losing it, the delicate balance of power in Europe could be destroyed for ever.
