It is October 1936. Lord Edward Corinth is invited by his friend Joe Weaver, the press lord and close friend of the British royal family, to recover certain letters stolen from the King's intimate friend Wallis Simpson. There is no mystery about who has taken these letters - it is known to be Mrs Raymond Harkness, a former mistress of the King and a close friend of Edward's. So Edward sets off for Haling, the country house of Conservative MP Leo Scannon, where Mrs Harkness has also been invited. He is far from easy in his mind at the task before him, but he cannot guess that a case of retrieving stolen property is soon to be complicated by murder.
