Description

Daniel Pitt's investigation into a colleague's murder leads him through London's teeming underbelly to the suspicious dealings of one of England's most influential shipbuilding magnates, in this thrilling new novel from New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry. When junior barrister Daniel Pitt is summoned to the scene of a murder in the London district known as Mile End, he knows only that the victim is a senior barrister from his own firm. So Daniel must contemplate this question: What was this respected colleague doing in such a rough part of the city? 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 his daughter, Miriam—Daniel's sometime sidekick—isn't in the country to offer her usual help. And so Daniel and his close friend Toby Kitteridge must investigate on their own, lest the police uncover something that may cast a suspicious light on the firm. Their inquiries in Mile End lead them to a brothel and an opium den, but also—unexpectedly—to a wealthy shipbuilder crucial to Britain's effort to build up its fleet, which may soon face the fearsome naval might of Germany. Daniel finds his path blocked by officials at every turn, his investigation so unwelcome that even his father, Special Branch head Thomas Pitt, receives a chilling warning from a powerful source. Suddenly, not just Daniel but his whole family—including his beloved mother, Charlotte—is in danger. Will Daniel's devotion to justice be the undoing of his entire life, and endanger Britain's defense at sea? As ever, the fates of family and history are inextricably intertwined in this spellbinder from Anne Perry.

      • content: Listeners join junior barrister Daniel Pitt as he seeks to uncover the mystery behind the savage murder of his colleague and how it may affect Britain's shipbuilding plans in the years just before WWI. Samuel Roukin is a confident narrator whose steady timing allows this mystery, with its many twists and turns, to unfold at a good pace. His subtle characterizations of the key players help listeners keep track of characters and events, particularly during conversations between Daniel and his father, Thomas Pitt, head of Special Branch. Roukin also creates believable male and female characters, both those of the upper class and those with the strong accent of London's East End. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
