Product Description
Another fantastic Pitt novel from the master storyteller of the Victorian mystery.
1895 and an increasingly violent tide of political unrest is rising fast all over Europe. Special Branch's Inspector Thomas Pitt knows that they must find those responsible before England is overrun by reformists intent on overthrowing the government. When he finds himself in pursuit of a suspected terrorist, Pitt has no hesitation in following the chase all the way to France.
But events take a sinister turn when Narraway, Pitt's superior, is accused of involvement in the death of an Irish informant and abruptly removed from office. Aware that her husband's own career is also in jeopardy if he is not reinstated, Pitt's wife Charlotte determines to help Narraway clear his name.
As Charlotte and Narraway depart for Ireland and Pitt is drawn deeper into the investigation in France, it becomes clear that outside forces have conspired to separate them at a crucial time in the country's history. With no one else to trust can they make it back to England and stop the revolt before it's too late?

Format:Hardcover
This novel is set in 1895, at a time when political unrest was rising all over Europe. The threat of anarchy and the potential for violence had European governments nervous. England's Special Branch knew of a current plot, but not yet who the leaders were, or who the target might be. Inspector Thomas Pitt, in pursuit of a suspected terrorist, finds himself in France. Shortly afterwards, Pitt's superior officer Victor Narraway is accused of causing the death of an Irish informant, and is removed from office.
Because Pitt is Narraway's protégé, his career is also potentially in jeopardy. Pitt's wife Charlotte is determined to help Narraway clear his name and travels to Ireland with him. It soon becomes clear that Special Branch itself may have been compromised: can Thomas Pitt and Victor Narraway join forces to stop the plotters before it is too late?
This is the 26th novel in Anne Perry's Thomas Pitt series, and while it's okay it didn't hold my attention the way that some earlier novels have. I suspect that those who've read the series in order will find this latest instalment interesting because of further developments in the lives of the main characters.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book but must advise anyone interested in buying it that it is a complete duplication of Treason in Lisson Grove. Same book - different title. Not good customer relations at all.

As with all Anne Perry books, it is excelllently written and the suspense was kept right through the book. I really enjoyed a few hours reading and couldn't put the book down. Anne is a gem of a writer.
