Synopsis
Among Anne Perry's other novels featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt are The Whitechapel Conspiracy, Bedford Square, Brunswick Gardens, Ashworth Hall, Traitors Gate, and The Hyde Park Headsman. She also writes the popular novels featuring Victorian private investigator William Monk--among them Slaves of Obsession, The Twisted Root, A Breach of Promise, The Silent Cry, and Weighed in the Balance. "Her grasp of Victorian character and conscience still astonishes," said the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Hundreds of thousands of readers in Europe and America agree. Anne Perry lives in Scotland.
