In the affluent London street of Paragon Walk and unspeakable and baffling crime was committed: a young woman was raped and murdered. Once again the incomparable team of Inspector Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, set themselves against a vicious killer. As the elegant masks of the Aristocratic Suspects began to slip, it became appallingly clear that something ugly lurked behind the handsome facades of Paragon Walk.
The everyday miseries and small sordid secrets burgeoned above and below stairs were as nothing compared to the threat of further violence, as there appeared to be no clear clues to follow. Was it the work of a Madman? Was it a game of the idle rich that got out of hand? Charlotte Pitt's personal connection to one resident enabled her to ask the questions nobody wanted to hear...and that led to a shocking revelation.
'The Pitt books are characterised by well-observed period detail...and intense scrutiny of family secrets'
