Inspector Pitt of Bow street and his wife Charlotte embark to unravel the mystery.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When a doctor is found brutally murdered in the lurid section of London aptly named "Devil's Acre," even its most hardened residents are stunned. But shock soon turns to horror when Inspector Thomas Pitt discovers three more bodies with the same gruesome "calling card" a stab wound in the back and a rather inexpertly executed mutilation. As Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, race against time to find the killer, a treacherous mystery unfolds. And no one, not the lowest brand of ruffian or the most established aristocrat, will escape unscathed.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Perry's Victorian novels attain the societal sweep of Trollope or Thackeray."--<i>Booklist, </i> starred review <p/> <br>"For readers longing to be in 1890s London, Perry's tales are just the ticket."--<i>Chicago Tribune<br></i> <p/>"An exquisitely detailed addition to Perry's outstanding series!"--<i>Library Journal<br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anne Perry</b> is the bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including <i>Death on Blackheath</i> and <i>Midnight at Marble Arch, </i>and<i> </i>the William Monk novels, including <i>Blood on the Water </i>and <i>Blind Justice</i>.
