The body of the Lord Chamberlain is found lying on the floor of a chapel.
Lord Fordyke's death intrudes on the festive retirement party of an investigator working for the OCI, the Office of the Chief Investigator.
The story opens at the OCI offices, as the newly redesignated Deputy Chief Investigator2 DCI-2 is musing over the changes that will take place with her new promotion. She is also thinking about the party she will attend that night. DCI-2 just started her speech at the Savoy Grill when she is called away to investigate a possible murder.
When informed of who the victim is, DCI-2 enters the chapel, where she meets with Home Office Pathologist Dr Joanna Crotchingham.
It is not long before complications arise. The victim was not particularly well liked among his peers or the police. A search of his bedroom and computer suggests even more possible suspects, including his daughters, who lied about their whereabouts on the day of their father's death. Just before his body was found, Lord Fordyke had been approached by the Committee.
After a series of big-name arrests, the investigation uncovers a clandestine organization that reaches to the very top of government. Will the truth about the Committee and what happened to Lord Fordyke ever come out?
