âTimely . . . and engaging . . . another terrific mystery.ââBookreporter
When junior barrister Daniel Pitt is summoned to the scene of a murder in the London district known as Mile End, he knows only that the victim is a senior barrister from the same firm. To Danielâs relief, it is not his close friend Toby Kitteridge, but the question remains: What was this respected colleague doing in such a rough part of the city? The firmâs head, Marcus fford Croft, may know more than he admits, but fford Croftâs memory is not what it used to be, and his daughter, MiriamâDanielâs sometime sidekickâisnât in the country to offer her usual help. And so Daniel and Toby must investigate on their own, lest the police uncover something that may cast a suspicious light on the firm.
Their inquiries in Mile End lead them to a local brothel and to an opium den, but alsoâunexpectedlyâto a wealthy shipbuilder crucial to Britainâs effort to build up its fleet, which may soon face the fearsome naval might of Germany. Daniel finds his path blocked by officials at every turn, his investigation so unwelcome that even his father, Special Branch head Thomas Pitt, receives a chilling warning from a powerful source. Suddenly, not just Daniel but his whole familyâincluding his beloved mother, Charlotteâis in danger. Will Danielâs devotion to justice be the undoing of his entire life, and endanger Britainâs defense at sea? As ever, the fates of family and history are inextricably intertwined in this spellbinder from Anne Perry.
