Pentecost Alley -- Anne Perry

<p>The murder of a prostitute named Ada McKinley in a bedroom on decrepit Pentecost Alley should occasion no stir in Victoria's great metropolis, but under the victim's body, the police find a Hellfire Club badge inscribed with the name "Finlay Fitzjames"--a name that instantly draws Superintendent Thomas Pitt into the case. Finlay's father--immensely wealthy, powerful, and dangerous--refuses to consider the possibility that his son has been in Ada McKinley's bed. The implication is clear: Pitt is to arrest someone other than Finlay Fitzjames for Ada's demise. But Thomas Pitt is not a man to be intimidated, and with the help of his quick-witted wife, Charlotte, he stubbornly pursues his investigation--one that twists and turns like London's own ancient streets.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Anne Perry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Random House Publishing Group<br><b>Published:</b> 10/04/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 416<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.70lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345514196<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Anne Perry</b> was the bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the William Monk novels and the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels.
