Can Pitt solve the case before the killer strikes again?

The murder of a prominent politician has links to Irish civil unrest in Anne Perry''s gripping Victorian mystery, Ashworth Hall. Perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom and Sarah Perry.

''Elegant period novel with a contemporary resonance'' - Guardian

When a group of powerful Irish Protestants and Catholics gather at a country house to discuss Irish home rule, contention is to be expected. But when the meeting''s moderator, government bigwig Ainsley Greville, is found murdered in his bath, negotiations seem doomed. Unless Superintendent Thomas Pitt and his wife, Charlotte, can root out the truth, simmering hatreds and passions may again explode in murder.

What readers are saying about Anne Perry:

''The atmosphere of turn of the century London is so absorbing and tangible that you can almost feel yourself shrouded in a cold blanket of East End fog and hear the Hansom carriages clatter along the streets''

''These are a great set of books. Pitt is a really likeable hero''

''Five stars''

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Anne Perry

Anne Perry nasce em Outubro de 1938 em Londres e viveu no estrangeiro durante alguns anos, antes de se instalar na sua actual casa em Portahomack, na Escócia.
É considerada uma das mais conceituadas escritoras da literatura policial das últimas décadas. No centro das suas histórias encontra-se a Inglaterra vitoriana, fechada como um casulo, num conjunto de rígidas regras de conduta social.
Escreve duas séries distintas, uma protagonizada por Thomas Pitt, um detective da polícia de origem social modesta, e por Charlotte, uma jovem de boas famílias, e a outra pelo detective amnésico William Monk. Ambas as séries são inspiradas em personalidades da época e os casos em que os detectives se envolvem conservam reminiscências de crimes realmente acontecidos.
Anne Perry desvenda-nos, de forma magistral, todo o complexo universo vitoriano.
