When a maid in the upper class Ellison household is strangled, Inspector Pitt is called in to investigate. He finds a world ruled by strict manners and social customs, where the inhabitants of the Ellison's neighborhood appear to be more outraged by the thought of scandal than they are by murder. Inspector Pitt finds a most unlikely ally in Charlotte, the Ellison's spirited daughter. But as the murders continue, Charlotte and Pitt find themselves drawn together by more than the investigation.

The lady of the house may prove his most bewildering witness yet. She claims she saw a violent murder - but there is no body, no blood. She also insists she recognized the killer: Captain Nelson.

Publisher's Summary
Daniel Pitt's investigation into his colleague's murder leads him through London's teeming underbelly to one of the Royal Navy's most powerful shipbuilders in a thrilling novel from New York Times best-selling author Anne Perry.
When junior barrister Daniel Pitt is summoned to the scene of a murder in the slum area known as Mile End, he knows only that the victim is a senior barrister from his firm. To Daniel's relief, it is not his close friend Toby Kitteridge, but the question remains: What was this respected colleague doing in Mile End? The firm's head, Marcus fford Croft, may know more than he admits, but fford Croft's memory is not what it used to be. And so Daniel and Kitteridge must investigate on their own, lest the police uncover something they should not.
As the pair digs into Mile End, they are led to a local brothel and an opium den, but also - unexpectedly - to a wealthy shipbuilder crucial to Britain's effort to build up its fleet, which soon may face the fearsome naval might of Germany. Daniel finds his path blocked by powerful officials, his investigation so unwelcome that even his father, Thomas Pitt, receives a chilling warning. Suddenly, not just Daniel but his entire family - including his beloved mother, Charlotte - is in danger. Will devotion to justice be the undoing of the Pitt family and endanger Britain's defense at sea? As ever, the fate of family and history are inextricably intertwined in this spellbinder from Anne Perry.

i love this series
Another exciting, complex mystery from Anne Perry in the Daniel Pitt series. It involves the Pitt family and others from previous books and introduces some new characters. As always, many of them are shady with nefarious deeds and interesting backstories. Itis all woven together into a satisfying book, beautifully narrated by Samuel Roukin

One of Her Best
This is one of Ms. Perry’s best. I love adding more of Charlotte and Thomas in the story. I did miss his cohort in crime. But I also loved getting to know Toby better and the relationship between him and Daniel grow. I would like to see some of Emily’s children be a little part of Daniel’s stories. Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Anne Perry
I have read all of Anne Perry’s novels and love that she is integrating the younger generation into the stories.
She takes us behind the canvas of the seemingly pretty picture of Victorian era, where poverty, injustice and abuse hide in the background of every crime, especially murder.

My wife and I have enjoyed dozens of Anne Perry books. This one is vapid, interminable, and altogether dreadful. It should never have been published.
