The queen of Victorian crime, New York Times bestseller Anne Perry, returns with the first in an exciting new generation of Pitt novels. Daniel Pitt has twenty-one days until a man is hanged for murder...
The much-loved Commander Thomas Pitt novels are followed here by the start of a new series, shifting focus to Pitt's son Daniel. A biographer claims to have been framed for the murder of his wife, facing the gallows for this crime, and barrister Daniel has 21 days to uncover the truth.
The monsters Anne Perry creates are not easy to live with, and their actions linger long after the book is closed
