Police procedural tied in with historical fiction - two of my favorites. 
England, 1860's - Prince Albert intends to nominate Darwin for knighthood in recognition of the significance of the Origin of the Species. A group of learned criminals hatch a plot to assassinate Prince Albert - thereby preventing him from bestowing knighthood on Darwin.
