"DIFFICULT TO PUT DOWN . . . Descriptive, evocative, and always precise . . . The mystery plot is tricky and beautifully paced."

*The Virginian-Pilot



The ritual murder of a prostitute named Ada McKinley in a bedroom on decrepit Pentecost Alley would ordinarily occasion no stir in Victoria's great metropolis. But, under the victim's body, the police find a Hellfire Club badge inscribed with the name Finlay Fitzjames--a name that instantly draws Superintendent Thomas Pitt into the case.



Finlay's father *immensely wealthy, powerful, and dangerous *refuses to consider the possibility that his son has been in Ada McKinley's bed. The implication is clear: Pitt is to arrest someone other than Finlay Fitzjames for Ada's demise. But Thomas Pitt is not a man to be intimidated, and with the help of his quick-witted wife, Charlotte, he stubbornly pursues his investigation *one that twists and turns like London's own ancient streets. . . .



"Stands as one of her most intricately constructed plots . . . Perry packs a triple wallop into the final pages, one climax following another."

*Chicago Sun-Times



"Vibrant . . . Alluring."

*The New York Times Book Review

  • Anne Perry just keeps turning out one after another mysteries with multilayered story lines. I really enjoy losing myself in the Victorian era with Thomas and Charlotte! And, I particularly like the plots where Thomas is the main protagonist.
