NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The man who lies bleeding to death in a London brickyard is no ordinary drifter but a secret informant with details of an international plot against the British government. Special Branch officer Thomas Pitt, hastening to rendezvous with him, arrives seconds after the knife-wielding assassin—who, in turn, flees on an erratic course that leads Pitt in wild pursuit to picturesque St. Malo on the French coast. Meanwhile, Pitt’s supervisor, Victor Narraway, stands accused of embezzling government funds. Since the man who ruined Narraway’s career is in Ireland, Pitt’s clever wife, Charlotte, agrees to pose as Narraway’s sister and accompany him to Dublin to investigate. But unknown to Pitt and Narraway, a shadowy plotter is setting a trap that, once sprung, could destroy not just reputations but the British empire itself.

“[Anne] Perry writes with great urgency about the desperate actions of people who believe they’re fighting for a just cause.”—New York Times Book Review

The twists and turns of the conspiracy’s plot

Excellent
story!! So very suspenseful!! Anne Perry at her best! Narrator was very good!! Loved it!

the story

didn't like the voice of the narrator for several of the characters. Preferred other narrators for Anne Perry books

Horrifically bad narration

It was all I could do to finish listening. One of the worst narrators I’ve listened to and I’ve listened to hundreds of books!!!!

Exciting episode in the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Series

Enjoyed the book, but the voice characterization for Lady Vespasia was like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard. Not every “high-born” lady needs to sound like a cut-rate Queen Elizabeth imitator.
