What this book is about
When a man is found bleeding to death in a London brickyard, Thomas Pitt discovers that the victim was no ordinary drifter — he was a secret informant whose last desperate act reveals a plot against the government itself. Pitt's hunt for the truth takes him across London's underworld and into a conspiracy that tests every alliance he has ever trusted. The twenty-seventh Thomas Pitt novel is a taut spy thriller in Victorian dress.
