The Sins of the Wolf -- Anne Perry

Nurse Hester Latterly finds herself well suited for the task: accompany Mrs. Mary Farraline, an elderly Scottish lady in delicate health, on a short train trip to London. Yet Hester's simple job takes a grave turn when Mrs. Farraline dies during the night. And when a postmortem examination of the body reveals a lethal dose of medicine, Hester is charged with murder-punishable by execution. <p/>This notorious case presents detective William Monk with a daunting task: find a calculating killer among the prominent and coolly unassailable Farraline clan-and try to save Hester from the gallows.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Anne Perry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ballantine Books<br><b>Published:</b> 09/29/2009<br><b>Pages:</b> 464<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.95lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.10w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345514004<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.
