About the Book

The sleuthing couple pursues a serial killer through Victorian London in an exciting entry in the "unfailingly rewarding" New York Times-bestselling series (The New York Times). A serial killer is loose in the slums of Devil's Acre. The murders are brutal, but it is the killer's grisly signature that shocks even Inspector Thomas Pitt, no stranger to death and violent crime. The victims are stabbed and sexually mutilated. When Pitt recognizes one of the victims as a blackmailing footman from a case on Callander Square, his investigation takes him from the brothels to the high reaches of Victorian society and into a world where upper-class women descend to depravity to relieve their boredom. Despite Pitt's warnings, his wife, Charlotte, pursues her own investigation. With the help of her sister Emily, Lady Ashworth, Charlotte reenters the elegant drawing rooms of Callander Square to find out more about the former footman who, Pitt discovers, owned an exclusive high-class whorehouse with--what else--exclusive high-class whores. As Pitt and Charlotte approach the same dangerous conclusion from differing paths, no one is spared--not even Pitt.

About the Author :
Anne Perry (1938-2023) was a bestselling author of historical detective fiction, most notably the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series and the William Monk series, both set in Victorian England. Her first book, The Cater Street Hangman (1979), launched both the Pitt series and her career as a premier writer of Victorian mysteries. Other novels in the series include Resurrection Row, Death in the Devil's Acre, and Silence in Hanover Close, as well as more than twenty others. The William Monk series of novels, featuring a Victorian police officer turned private investigator, includes Funeral in Blue, The Twisted Root, and The Silent Cry. In addition to these series, Perry also authored the World War I novels No Graves as Yet, Shoulder the Sky, Angels in the Gloom, and others, as well as several collections of short stories. Perry's novels have appeared on bestseller lists around the world and have sold more than twenty-five million books in print worldwide.

Review :
"[Death in the Devil's Acre is] an exquisitely detailed addition to Perry's outstanding series." --Library Journal "Give her a good murder and a shameful social evil, and Anne Perry can write a Victorian mystery that would make Dickens's eyes pop." --The New York Times Book Review "When Anne Perry puts Thomas and Charlotte Pitt on the case, we are in exemplary Victorian company." --The New York Times "When it comes to the Victorian mystery, Anne Perry has proved that nobody does it better." --The San Diego Union-Tribune "The period detail remains fascinating, and [Anne Perry's] grasp of Victorian character and conscience still astonishes." --The Plain Dealer "Pitt's compassion and Charlotte's cleverness make them compatible sleuths, as well as extremely congenial characters . . . Perry has the gift of making [the Victorian era] all seem immediate and very much alive." --The Philadelphia Inquirer
