What this book is about
Thomas Pitt is drawn into the aftermath of a notorious murder trial in which a Jewish man was convicted and hanged. When new evidence surfaces suggesting the original verdict was wrong, reopening the case unleashes the full force of Victorian antisemitism and mob sentiment. As Pitt and Charlotte work toward justice, they confront how easily righteousness can become a new instrument of persecution.
