Perry, Anne Pentecost Alley Fawcett March 19, 1996 Hardcover; w/j used; both book/jacket very good The 16th Thomas and Charlotte Pitt mystery demonstrates Perry's trademark s kill for enhancing well-designed mystery plots with convincing historical s ettings and cleverly drawn relationships among characters. In this outing, Pitt, last seen in Traitors Gate, tackles a case that could cost him his ca reer. As it has been only two years since the unsolved Jack the Ripper murd ers, the Home Office anxiously anticipates the speedy arrest of the person who has murdered a Whitechapel prostitute with her own stocking. Finlay Fit zJames, a young diplomat who is the son of a powerful merchant banker, is t he prime suspect, even though the evidence against him is circumstantial: a n old Hellfire Club badge, inscribed with Finlay's name, was found under th e prostitute in bed, and cufflinks with his initials were discovered in the room. While Pitt grapples with this politically sensitive case, his sister -in-law, Emily Radley, makes friends with Finlay's younger sister, a social butterfly named Tallulah. Thanks to Pitt's diligence (and Emily's and Tall ulah's meddling), the case is closed. Or so it seems until another very sim ilar murder occurs. Whitechapel residents are terrified anew, Parliament is filled with grumblings, the Queen conveys her displeasure and newspaper re porters are turning the investigation into a case study in police incompete nce and corruption. As Perry edges toward her surprise ending, she crafts h er tale with elegance, narrative depth and gratifying scope. BOMC main sele ction. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
