What this book is about
The head of Special Branch assigns Thomas Pitt to investigate a suspected traitor within the organization itself. The case involves imperial secrets, foreign threats, and the question of whether the Empire's greatest danger comes from without or within. Traitors' Gate marks a significant turning point in Pitt's career and in the Pitt series itself, moving it toward the political thriller territory of Perry's later work.
