Jak to může dopadnout, když se svéhlavá dáma a seriózní gentleman ve viktoriánském Londýně pokoušejí překazit spiknutí? Alexandra Princeová je chytrá, prostořeká a možná i trochu impulzivní. Přesto byla vždy ve stínu svých sourozenců. Zatímco oni odjíždějí na dobrodružné výpravy, ona je tou, která se stará o chod rodinného starožitnictví – a touží zažít vlastní dobrodružství.

Detektiv inspektor Benedict Drake bere své povinnosti ve Scotland Yardu vážně. Vlastně bere vážně téměř všechno. Až na dechberoucí krásku, která mu vtrhne do kanceláře, aby mu pověděla o absurdním plánu na krádež korunovačních klenotů. Události ho však postupně donutí uvěřit jejímu vyprávění a on ji neochotně požádá o pomoc, aby zmařil krádež století. Ale zatímco zloději pátrají po korunovačních klenotech, svéhlavá dáma, od které se nemůže odtrhnout, mu možná ukradne srdce...
