When the wife of a well-respected financier turns up dead, and the young, troubled daughter of a Portuguese ambassador commits suicide in the middle of a party, both deaths point to the disturbing trauma of rape. But when an innocent man ends up on trial for the crimes, Pitt's quest for the truth takes him deeper into the tangled web of international politics than he has ever dared go. In this superbly accomplished new Charlotte and Thomas Pitt adventure, Anne Perry takes readers beneath the glittering surface of wealthy Victorian society into a nightmare world of fear and intimidation, where women are too often blamed for the violent attacks against them, and powerful men take what they want, leaving others to pay the price.
