About the Book



Originally published: New York: Fawcett Crest Books, 1992.



Book Synopsis



When an obscure moneylender named William Weems is murdered in the humble Clerkenwell district, there are no mourners--and there is more than a little discreet rejoicing among those whose meager earnings he so mercilessly devoured. Yet when Inspector Pitt finds in the murdered man's office a list containing the names of some of London's most distinguished gentlemen, he begins to realize the magnitude of his duty. William Weems, it transpires, was no common usurer but a vicious blackmailer. Fortunately, Pitt's clever, well-born wife, Charlotte, has entrée to London's best society. Her insights prove to be invaluable to Pitt's investigation as she observes, at glittering balls and over gossipy tea tables, a world of passion, power, and greed that the police are seldom permitted to see.



Review Quotes




"Pulsates with the sights and sounds of Victorian London."--The Pittsburgh Press

"[Anne] Perry's characters are vivid and well-drawn. . . . If you want to be privy to the romance, politics, and scandal of Victorian London, this descriptive, leisurely paced mystery may well be your cup of Earl Grey tea."--Houston Chronicle

"A well-plotted puzzle . . . Perry's compassionate characterizations demonstrate the extremes of Victorian society, from the chilling conditions of the poor cowering on doorsteps to the poise of the warm and well-dressed inside."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Perry [is the] reigning monarch of the Victorian mystery."--People

"The author has the eyes of a hawk for character."--The New York Times Book Review
