Deep in London's dangerous slums, Victorians transact their most secret and shameful business. For a price, a man can procure whatever he wants. But for one such man, the price he pays is his life. In sunless Water Lane, respected solicitor Leighton Duff lies dead, kicked and beaten to death. Beside him is the barely living body of his son, Rhys. The police cannot fathom these brutal assaults until shrewd investigator William Monk, aided by nurse-turned-sleuth Hester Latterly, uncovers a connection between them and a series of rapes and beatings of local prostitutes. But then the case takes an even more shocking turn.

Industry Reviews

"[Perry's] early-Victorian series . . . has deepened and darkened its insights into the social evils that burdened London's underclasses."--The New York Times Book Review "The action careers between the low- and high-born in Victorian society. The denouement is shocking, and the characters are so richly drawn that you'll miss them when they're gone."--Los Angeles Times
