Описание: Daniel Pitts investigation into his colleagues murder leads him through Londons teeming underbelly to the suspicious dealings of one of Englands most influential shipbuilding magnates in a thrilling novel from New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry.

Timely . . . and engaging . . . another terrific mystery.--Bookreporter

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 the same firm. To Daniels relief, it is not his close friend Toby Kitteridge, but the question remains: What was this respected colleague doing in such a rough part of the city? The firms head, Marcus fford Croft, may know more than he admits, but fford Crofts memory is not what it used to be, and his daughter, Miriam--Daniels sometime sidekick--isnt in the country to offer her usual help. And so Daniel and Toby 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 local brothel and to an opium den, but also--unexpectedly--to a wealthy shipbuilder crucial to Britains 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 Daniels devotion to justice be the undoing of his entire life, and endanger Britains defense at sea? As ever, the fates of family and history are inextricably intertwined in this spellbinder from Anne Perry.
