Detective John Davenport, renowned for his eccentric style and unorthodox approach, is urgently called to the heart of the English monarchy to solve a murder case. With the help of his impeccable and pragmatic assistant, Turner, Davenport finds himself immersed in a web of secrets, lies, and unexpected twists.

The adventure begins with Davenport and Turner arriving at Buckingham Palace, where the body of the royal butler, Frederick Morris, is discovered lifeless beside the throne. Morris clutches a torn white glove, the only tangible clue that opens the door to a complex investigation. The case is made even more dramatic by the murder's proximity to a royal gala, which must proceed without raising suspicion to avoid disturbing the guests and the royal family.

The crime scene, seemingly orderly and devoid of signs of a struggle, suggests a calculating killer. However, Davenport, with his keen eye, notices details others miss: a suspicious scratch on the throne and a mysterious tea stain on the white glove. These small details prove to be crucial clues, unraveling a network of intrigue and rivalries. The discovery of a secret diary belonging to the late butler sheds new light on the case, revealing that Morris was entangled in personal and professional dealings that may have led to his demise.
