About the Author
Among Anne Perry's other novels featuring investigator William Monk are Cain His Brother, Defend and Betray, and most recently Weighed in the Balance. She also writes the popular novels featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt, including Pentecost Alley, Traitors Gate, The Hyde Park Headsman, Highgate Rise, and Ashworth Hall, which was a Main Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club.
