What this book is about
It is the 1920s, and Daniel Pitt — son of the famous Thomas Pitt — is a young defense barrister in London. He must defend a British diplomat accused of theft that conceals a far more serious crime. But the deeper Daniel digs, the more he realizes that powerful forces are engineering a miscarriage of justice. The first novel in Anne Perry's Daniel Pitt series is a beautifully crafted legal thriller with a generous dose of period atmosphere.
