What this book is about
Three Members of Parliament are found strangled on Westminster Bridge under similar circumstances. Thomas Pitt must investigate without touching the political raw nerve of Parliament's reputation. Charlotte works social connections to find who had reason to want these particular men dead. The case leads into the world of women's suffrage, social reform, and the fierce resistance of those threatened by change.
