Destined for a life beyond her wildest dreams, born fifth in succession to the throne, and determined to get to the bottom of a most foul puzzle. The future queen becomes a rebellious sleuth when she vows to solve the mystery of a dead man scandalously discovered on the grounds of Kensington Palaceβby her.
The young Victoria remembers nothing but Kensington Palace. Arriving as a baby, she has been brought up inside its musty, mold-ridden walls. Others may see the value of Kensingtonβs priceless artifacts and objets dβart, but the palace is a jail cell for young Victoria. Raised with an incredibly strict regimen to follow, watched at all times by her mother, the controlling, German-born Victoire, and Victoireβs prized advisor, the power-hungry Sir John Conroy, the bright 15-year-old is allowed no freedom at any timeβexcept that which she steals or wheedles for, always in the company of Conroyβs resentful daughter, Jane.
But one fateful afternoon, Victoria slips away from her mother to ride out on her beloved gelding, Prince.Β With reluctant Jane in tow, the princess gallops out from the palace green.Β But what would normally be an uneventful trot around very familiar terrain presents the mutinous princess with a most bewildering sightβa dead man, and on the grounds of the palace, no less.
Determined to get to the bottom of the inscrutable puzzle, young Victoria is met with shocking disrespect and any number of obstacles. Sir John lies to her, her uncles and aunts join with her mother to stonewall her questions and curtail her movements. But Victoria will not be deterred.Β With Jane Conroy as a tentative and untrustworthy ally, Victoriaβs first βcaseβ is underway . . .
