<b>A New York Times Bestselling Author</b><p> Anne Perry's fictional world is that of Britain's wealthy and powerful elite in West End mansions and great country houses. It is also a world in which danger bides in unsuspected places and the line between good and evil can be razor thin. This new novel features Lady Vespasia Cumming-Gould - a memorable character from the Thomas Pitt series - as a lively young woman and budding sleuth among the guests when tragedy darkens a holiday house party.</p>
