NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
When low-life moneylender William Weems is found murdered, there are few to mourn his passing. But when Inspector Pitt finds a list containing the names of some of London's most distinguished gentlemen in the murdered man's office, he recognizes the smell of blackmail. Fortunately, Pitt's clever, well-born wife, Charlotte has entree into London's best society. And at glittering balls and over gossipy teas, she observes a world of passion, power, and greed, that is closed to police inspection...
Reader Reviews
it's my favorite book of the Pitt series so far, September 27, 2003
Reviewer:

from Phoenix, AZ USA
I've read the 11 "Pitt" books prior to this, but I enjoyed this the most. Some thoughts: -It's not necessary to have read previous books in the series to find one's way around the characters and setting. -The book is populated with interesting characters. -Our friend Micah Drummond also plays a noteworthy expanded role. -Most important for a mystery like this, the ending needs to be satisfying. And did I love this ending! (No peeking!)
