The latest thriller in the Roy Grace series and what a cracker!

Her Majesty, Queen Camilla, is aboard the Royal Train heading to a charity event when disaster strikes – the train is derailed. A tragic accident or a planned attack? Minutes later, a trusted aide is shot dead by a sniper, and the police have their answer. Despite all the evidence, Roy Grace is not convinced The Queen was the intended target.

Failure at this level is not an option. But time is running out before a killer in the Palace will strike again.
