The year is 1861. The American Civil War has just begun, and London arms dealer Daniel Alberton is becoming a very wealthy man. His quiet dinner party seems remote indeed from the passions rending America. Yet investigator William Monk and his bride, Hester, sense growing tensions and barely concealed violence. For two of the guests are Americans, each vying to buy Alberton’s armaments. Soon Monk and Hester’s forebodings are fulfilled as one member of the party is brutally murdered and two others disappear- along with Alberton’s entire inventory of weapons. As Monk and Hester track the man they believe to be the murderer all the way to Washington, D.C., and the bloody battlefield at Manassas, Slaves of Obsession twists and turns like a powder-keg fuse and holds the reader breathless and spellbound. . . .

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.
