about
Housemaid Jane Bee''s summer duties run to dusting the props for a week of pageantry at Windsor Castle, the Queen''s favorite haunt. But the Investiture of the new Knights of the Garter ends up combining pomp with a extremely unpleasant circumstance.... Mild-mannered art curator Roger Pettibon is found dead, a ceremonial sword in his back and a Royal Garter around his knee.
The police are quick to arrest moody Court painter Victor Fabiani, at work on a portrait of the regal face that launched a billion postage stamps. But Fabiani''s confession--despite its story of art forgery and blackmail--doesn''t ring true to Jane. Nor to Her Majesty, who dispatches her on a discreet inquiry among the cream of society gathered for the Ascot races. And, as Jane traces the twisty lineage of more than one family, Windsor''s ancient battlements witness a second death--and their second ordeal in five years, by fire and water....
