Bethlehem Road -- Anne Perry

<p>The gentleman tied to the lamppost on Westminster Bridge is most elegantly attired--fresh boutonniere, silk hat, white evening scarf--and he is quite, quite dead, as a result of his thoroughly cut throat. Why should anyone kill Sir Lockwood Hamilton, the kindest of family men and most conscientious member of Parliament? Before Inspector Thomas Pitt can even speculate on the reasons, a colleague of Sir Lockwood's meets the same fate in the same spot. Public indignation is boundless, and clever Charlotte Pitt, Thomas's wellborn wife, can't resist helping her hard-pressed husband, scouting society's drawing rooms for clues to these appalling crimes. Meanwhile, the Westminster Bridge Cutthroat stalks another victim.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Anne Perry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ballantine Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/04/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 336<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.60lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345514110<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Anne Perry</b> is the bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including <i>Death on Blackheath</i> and <i>Midnight at Marble Arch, </i>and<i> </i>the William Monk novels, including <i>Blood on the Water </i>and <i>Blind Justice</i>.
