Slaves and Obsession (William Monk Mystery, Book 11) - A twisting Victorian mystery of war, love and murder (Paperback, New Ed)

What do the American Civil War, an Italian beauty with a tragic past, Victorian watermen and an ex-policeman with amnesia have in common? The answer is they are some of the colourful characters peopling Perry's 11th offering in the William Monk series. Just when you think that's enough for any detective story, sit back and allow another half dozen or so themes wash over you. Perry has a lot of ideas and she intends to get them all into one book! Although Perry bombards the reader with situations and people, strangely this book remains utterly readable. (Kirkus UK)

In the American Civil War the opposing armies are desperate for arms. A London trader selling weapons to the South faces a moral dilemma when his daughter, in love with a Confederate, insists he change sides. When he is brutally murdered, her lover is the immediate suspect. William and Hester Monk must bring the pair back from the front line in America to face justice in an English court.
