✦ Synopsis


When a doctor is found brutally murdered in the lurid section of London aptly named �Devil�s Acre,� even its most hardened residents are stunned. But shock soon turns to horror when Inspector Thomas Pitt discovers three more bodies with the same gruesome �calling card�: a stab wound in the back and a rather inexpertly executed mutilation. As Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, race against time to find the killer, a treacherous mystery unfolds. And no one, not the lowest brand of ruffian or the most established aristocrat, will escape unscathed.

�An exquisitely detailed addition to Perry�s outstanding series!��Library Journal

From the Inside Flap
