Anne Perry's very special world of mystery, passion, and danger has
attracted an entire generation of readers to her bestselling
Victorian novels. "Treason at Lisson Grove, " her first Thomas and
Charlotte Pitt novel in three years, is a masterpiece, inspired by
history and spinning on a razor's edge of tension, with a cast of
characters as rich as the universe Perry evokes.
The man who lies bleeding to death in a London brickyard is no
ordinary drifter but a secret informant prepared to divulge details
of a potentially devastating international plot against the British
government. Special Branch officer Thomas Pitt, hastening to
rendezvous with him, arrives a second too late, preceded by a
knife-wielding assassin. As the mortally wounded man's life slips
away, so too does the information Pitt desperately needs. The
killer in turn flees on an erratic course that leads Pitt in wild
pursuit, from London's cobblestone streets to picturesque St. Malo
on the French coast.
Meanwhile, Pitt's supervisor, the formidable Victor Narraway, finds
himself accused of embezzling government funds. With Pitt
incommunicado in France, Narraway turns to Pitt's clever wife,
Charlotte, for help. The man who badmouthed Narraway and ruined his
career with innuendo can be found in Ireland--so Charlotte agrees
to pose as Narraway's sister and accompany him to Dublin to
investigate.
But unknown to Pitt and Narraway, a shadowy plotter is setting a
trap that, once sprung, could destroy not just reputations but the
British empire itself.
