It seems to begin with the discovery of the body of a beautiful young woman in an East London park.

In the hopes of hampering the spread of news about the crime, the Prince reluctantly calls upon the services of Daniel Wilson and Abigail Fenton, the museum detectives, to investigate further.

More bones will see the light of day and the twists and turns of a dastardly plot will unravel before the museum detectives' case is closed.
