Near-new condition. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. 390 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - A century ago, Charles Darwin's revolutionary theory of evolution rocked the civilized world, and the outraged Anglican church went on the warpath against it. In a mansion in London's affluent Brunswick Gardens, the battle is intense, as that most respected clergyman, the Reverend Ramsay Parmenter, is boldly challenged by his beautiful assistant, Unity Bellwood - a "new woman" whose feminism and aggressive Darwinism he finds appalling. When Unity, three months pregnant, tumbles down the Parmenter's staircase to her death, Thomas Pitt, commander of the Bow Street police station, is virtually certain that one of the three deeply devout men in the house committed murder. Could it have been the Reverend Parmenter, his handsome curate, or his Roman Catholic son?

Near-new condition - Stated First Edition - Price inside dustcover: $24.95 - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Deep in London's filthy, dangerous slums, Victorians transacted their most secret and shameful business. For a price, a man could procure whatever he wanted, but it happened now and then that the price he paid was his life. Now, in sunless Water Lane, respected solicitor Leighton Duff lies dead, kicked and beaten to death. Beside him lies the barely living body of his son, Rhys. The police cannot fathom these brutal assaults, until shrewd investigator William Monk uncovers a connection between them and a series of rapes and beatings of local prostitutes. Then it begins to seem shockingly clear that young Rhys Duff must have killed his own father. In a heartstopping courtroom drama, the Crown's case against Rhys Duff, accused of patricide, begins its inexorable unfolding.

Perry, Anne The Whitechapel Conspiracy
Ballantine Books 2001 0345433289 / 9780345433282 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new copy. Appears unread. Price inside dustcover: $25.00 - Stated First Edition - Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. - 341 pages. NO writing, marks or tears. Tight spine, bright pages. The Whitechapel Conspiracy is bestselling author Anne Perry's 21st novel featuring the beloved husband-and-wife team Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. Fans of Victorian England will find Perry in top form as she richly details the period and populates it with wholly believable characters. Here her concerns are wonderfully balanced between showing the vast differences in social classes and plotting an involving mystery that explodes into full-blown political conspiracy. In 1892, Thomas Pitt, superintendent of the Bow Street police station, is caught up in the trial of John Adinet, a soldier who has allegedly murdered a close friend, antiquarian Martin Fetters. Although no motive can be established and the evidence is entirely circumstantial, Pitt’s testimony is a strong indictment, and Adinet is found guilty and sentenced to be executed in three weeks. Shortly thereafter, Pitt finds that he has made powerful enemies in London’s high society. He is discharged from his command and sent to the slums of the East End on an undercover assignment to seek out anarchists who may not even exist. Adinet was a member of an “Inner Circle” made up of prominent men dedicated to their own gains. Soon they use all their influence to wreak vengeance on Pitt, separating him from his wife, Charlotte, who decides that she will take matters into her own hands until Pitt’s reputation is restored. Following their own investigations, Thomas and Charlotte delve into the secrets and lies behind Whitechapel’s recent Ripper case, where several murders might be connected to the Prince of Wales himself. Perry's protagonists and villains are all credible in their own fashion, and they are often placed in situations that are exciting and outrageous while still remaining plausible. Perry’s unique outlook on the Ripper case and its effect on English society is an intriguing one, especially since it is only one engaging subplot among many. Each thread of the story works to the advantage of the greater whole as the separate investigations lead into a head-on collision marked by violence and mayhem. Perry’s stylish delivery adds new texture to the Victorian scenery, and as the past comes alive in this fast-paced thriller, the reader should be ready for a genuinely diverting and entertaining experience. The Whitechapel Conspiracy is a must-read, don't-miss extravaganza that mystery fans will be talking about for quite a while to come.
