What this book is about
A series of explosions terrorizes London's East End, and Thomas Pitt — now head of the Special Branch — must find the anarchists responsible before more blood is spilled. But as the investigation deepens, he discovers that the conspiracy has been funded and guided from within the British establishment itself. The twenty-sixth Thomas Pitt novel deals with the collision between political idealism and lethal violence.
