In August 1811, George, Prince of Wales and the Prince Regent is horrified to find his mistress Sarah, Marchioness of Creeve dead in his bed, strangled by the string of pearls around her neck. The Prince realizes what a scandal could come out of a dead married woman (not to mention his younger brothers mistress) so he has Tam Eildor, masquerading as a Scottish lawyer, investigate the murder. Tams investigation is interrupted by an attempt on his life -and the Princes discovery that the Stuart Sapphire has gone missing. Tams search for the killer and the thief puts his life in danger. Amidst a cast of royally quirky, entertaining, and psychologically complex characters, Tam needs to figure out his purpose in the Prince Regents service, find the killer thief, and get home before time does away with Tams memory of home, or someone does away with Tam.
