ANGEL COURT AFFAIR, THE by Anne Perry - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOKSee all titles by Anne Perry.
In New York Times bestselling
author Anne Perry, the glorious era when Britain reigned supreme has
found its most brilliant modern interpreter. Perry’s gripping new
Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novel invites us back to Victorian London,
where greed and ambition never sleep, and passion sometimes runs riot.
As the nineteenth century draws to a close, most of Europe is in
political turmoil, and terrorist threats loom large across the
continent. Adding to this unrest is the controversial Sofia Delacruz,
who has come to London from Spain to preach a revolutionary gospel of
love and forgiveness that many consider blasphemous. Thomas Pitt,
commander of Special Branch, is charged with protecting Sofia—and
shielding Her Majesty’s government from any embarrassment that this
woman, as beautiful as she is charismatic, might cause.
When Sofia suddenly vanishes and two of her female disciples are
gruesomely murdered, Pitt is challenged as never before. Is Sofia’s
cousin, wealthy banker Barton Hall, somehow involved? And why has
handsome cricket star Dalton Teague insinuated himself into Pitt’s
investigation? Fearful that this sensational crime may trigger an
international incident, Pitt welcomes the help of three allies: his
clever wife, Charlotte; her great-aunt, Lady Vespasia; and Victor
Narraway, Pitt’s friend and former commander at Special Branch. From the
narrow streets of Toledo and a lonely monastery high in the hills of
Spain, to the halls and wharves of London, Pitt and his friends race
against time in their desperate bid to catch a murderer.
Anne Perry is the acknowledged mistress of Victorian intrigue. No one
else can match her period flavor, her all-too-human characters, or her
haunting truths, which speak so clearly to our own time. The Angel Court Affair may be the best of all the beloved Thomas Pitt novels.
