To Daniel's 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 firm's head, Marcus fford Croft, may know more than he admits, but fford Croft's memory is not what it used to be, and his daughter, Miriam--Daniel's sometime sidekick--isn't 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheir inquiries in Mile End lead them to a local brothel and to an opium den, but also--unexpectedly--to a wealthy shipbuilder crucial to Britain's 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 Daniel's devotion to justice be the undoing of his entire life, and endanger Britain's defense at sea? As ever, the fates of family and history are inextricably intertwined in this spellbinder from Anne Perry.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Perry\u003c\/b\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the William Monk novels, including \u003ci\u003eDark Tide Rising \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAn Echo of Murder\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including \u003ci\u003eMurder on the Serpentine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTreachery at Lancaster Gate.\u003c\/i\u003e She is also the author of a series featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt's son, Daniel, including\u003ci\u003e Death with a Double Edge\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOne Fatal Flaw\u003c\/i\u003e; the new Elena Standish series, including \u003ci\u003eA Question of Betrayal\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDeath in Focus;\u003c\/i\u003e five World War I novels; eighteen holiday novels, most recently \u003ci\u003eA Christmas Resolution\u003c\/i\u003e; and a historical novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Sheen on the Silk\u003c\/i\u003e, set in the Ottoman Empire.
