Críticas

Praise for Anne Perry: 'There is a freshness about [Perry's] writing which makes it truly exceptional and I was gripped until the final page. Death on Blackheath was one of the best books I've read this year and I cannot recommend it highly enough' (Eurocrime)

Perry is a master at illuminating the wrongs of the Victorian age (Booklist)

A page-turning thriller . . . blending compelling plotting with superbly realized human emotion and exquisite period detail (Jeffery Deaver)

The monsters Anne Perry creates are not easy to live with, and their actions linger long after the book is closed (New York Journal of Books)

Reseña del editor

Thomas Pitt arrives at a devastating bombing in Lancaster Gate to find two policemen dead and three more gravely wounded. London's anarchists are blamed, but as Pitt and Inspector Tellman investigate they find it looks increasingly like a personal vendetta against those particular men. Did they lie about a drugs raid that went fatally wrong, and let an innocent man hang?

The idea of police dishonesty cuts Tellman to the quick - he joined the force to protect society, not exploit it. But he must uncover the truth, however much he wants to resist the signs of blackmail and corruption. With the threat of further bombings, and their superiors pushing for a quick resolution, Pitt and Tellman find their every move scrutinised, and their own lives suddenly at risk...

Treachery at Lancaster Gate is the exceptional new historical thriller from the master of Victorian crime.
