| Summary | In 1950s Copenhagen, celebrated detective Ingrid Ines is summoned to the opulent Dragen Ducal estate after their legendary heirloom—the Sea Serpent Necklace, a platinum-and-diamond masterpiece worth millions—vanishes during a royal banquet. The imperious Dowager Duchess insists the theft occurred mid-gala, the necklace replaced by a cunning glass replica while adorning her neck. Suspicions swirl around Prince Sven Philip, the king’s enigmatic brother rumored to be a phantom thief targeting Europe’s elite. Yet Ingrid uncovers contradictions: servants claim the Duchess’s teenage son embraced her that night, while the prince’s alibi frays under scrutiny. Navigating gilded ballrooms and labyrinthine mansions, Ingrid must untangle aristocratic lies and royal intrigue, her intellect clashing with societal disdain for a woman detective. As whispers of chloroform plots and doppelgängers emerge, the case threatens Denmark’s monarchy itself—but Ingrid’s sharp wit and silver badge gleam brighter than any counterfeit gem. Will truth surface in this web of diamonds and deception? |
