Return to the âexemplary Victorian companyâ of this London sleuthing couple with books four through six in the long-running New York Timesâbestselling series (The New York Times). Â âFor nearly four decades Anne Perryâs riveting detective novels have played out against the backdrop of the Victorian eraâ (The Washington Post). Now, in a single volume, readers can enjoy more of this âunfailingly rewardingâ series (The New York Times Book Review). Â Resurrection Row: Lord Fitzroy-Hammond has been dead and buried three weeks when his corpse turns up sitting atop a hansom cab. It may be a macabre practical jokeâor something far more sinister. Grave robbing isnât Inspector Thomas Pittâs usual fare, but the case grows increasingly bizarre as other disinterred bodies appear. And new mother Charlotte Pitt gets involved when her late sisterâs husband becomes a suspect. Â Rutland Place: Charlotteâs mother asks her help finding a lost locket that contains a compromising pictureâbut neither of them expect the missing jewelry to lead to a murder case. When another resident of her motherâs exclusive neighborhood, known for her prying, is poisoned, Inspector Pitt steps in to discover what secrets the woman may have stumbled upon. Â Bluegate Fields: The naked body of an aristocratic youth turns up in the sewers beneath Bluegate Fields, one of Londonâs most notorious slums. But Arthur Waybourne was drowned in his bath, not in the Thames. The evidence seems to condemn his tutor, who is sentenced to hang. But Thomas and Charlotte believe thereâs a cover-up and race to find the real killerâbefore an innocent man dangles from the noose. |
