Set against the backdrop of the overthrow of the Queen, Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne investigate a series of decapitations and the theft of the Crown Jewels. When the Queen is accused of demanding the beheadings of political traitors, she is linked to the crimes, and the detectives must solve them in order to clear the Queen.

He has written fiction and historical articles for the Pacific Islands Monthly, New Pacific, Hawaii, Honolulu, Spirit of Aloha, Historic Nantucket, and the Journal of Pacific History.
