Funeral in Blue -- Anne Perry

Two beautiful women have been found strangled in the studio of a well-known London artist. To investigator William Monk and his wife, Hester, the murders are a nightmare. One of the victims is the wife of Hester's cherished colleague, surgeon Dr. Kristian Beck, a Viennese migr who becomes the prime suspect. With an intensity born of desperation, the Monks seek evidence that will save Dr. Beck from the hangman. From London's sinister slums to the crowded coffeehouses of Vienna, where embers of the revolution still burn in the hearts of freedom-loving men and women, Hester and Monk seek to penetrate not only the mystery of Elissa Beck's death but the riddle of her life.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Anne Perry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ballantine Books<br><b>Published:</b> 03/22/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 352<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.54lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.96h x 5.18w x 0.76d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345514141<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 William Monk novels, including <i>Blind Justice</i> and <i>A Sunless Sea</i>, the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including <i>Death on Blackheath</i> and <i>Midnight at Marble Arch. </i>She is also the author of a series of five World War I novels, as well as eleven holiday novels, most recently <i>A New York Christmas, </i> and a historical novel, <i>The Sheen on the Silk, </i> set in the Ottoman Empire.
