About the Book

Hester Monk's voluntary work in Coldbath Square is increasingly demanding. Every night she tends to a stream of women of the streets who have been injured or become ill as a result of their trade. But the injuries are becoming more serious, and now a body has been discovered in one of the area's brothels. The dead man is none other than the wealthy and respectable Nolan Baltimore, head of Baltimore and Sons, a successful railway company. With calls for the police to clean up the streets, Hester decides she must intervene to protect these women who stand to lose everything. Meanwhile her husband, William Monk, has been approached by Katrina Harcus, who suspects that the company her fiance works for may be guilty of fraud. That company is Baltimore and Sons. As Monk endeavours to prevent a serious crime, possibly even a tragedy, taking place, he faces some staggering revelations. And with the link between the two cases becoming ever clearer, Monk finds that the time has come to confront his own demons - even if it means losing all that he now holds dear...

Review :
Praise for Anne Perry: Few mystery writers this side of Arthur Conan Doyle can evoke Victorian London with such relish for detail and mood [Perry's] early-Victorian series... has deepened and darkened its insights into the social evils that burdened London's underclasses Anne Perry's creation of William Monk, the nineteenth-century private investigator, has proved a welcome and original addition to the crime fiction genre... stylish and highly-individual murder mystery Her Victorian England pulsates with life and is peopled with wonderfully memorable characters When it comes to the Victorian mystery, Anne Perry has proved that nobody does it better Perry has a wonderful feel for period and remains utterly convincing The period detail remains fascinating, and [Perry's] grasp of Victorian character and conscience still astonishes With a steady hand at dissecting character and motivation, a keen grasp of social history and a flair for description of Victorian London, Perry guarantees a good read to those who like their murder in a believable historical and psychological context [Anne] Perry's strengths: memorable characters and an ability to evoke the Victorian era with the finely wrought detail of a miniaturist Perry is a forceful plotter and a consistently polished writer
