内容简介 Book Description
On a patrol boat near Waterloo Bridge, police superintender William Monk notices a young couple engaged in an intense discussion. Seconds later, the two plunge to their deaths in the icy waters of the Thames. Was it an accident, a suicide, or a murder? Ever the investigator, Monk learns that the woman Mary Havilland, had planned to marry the fair-haired man who shared her fate. He also discovers that Mary's father had recently died as well in a supposed suicide. But Mary's friends share their own dark suspicions with Monk, who now faces the myteries surrounding three deaths. Aided by his intrepid wife, Hester, Monk searches for answers. From luxurious drawing rooms where powerful men hatch their unscrupulous plots, to the sewers beneath the city where poor folk fight starvation. Monk must connect the clues before death strikes again.
"An Anne Perry novel is a delight to read as much for its Victorian-era details as for the mystery it unfolds."
--------Chicago Tribune
