What this book is about
William Monk investigates a case where the veneer of Victorian respectability conceals profound moral rot — a household, a family, or an institution that appears virtuous but harbors a secret capable of destroying lives. In Perry's hands, the biblical image of whited sepulchres (outwardly righteous, inwardly corrupt) provides the moral frame for another searching Victorian mystery. A William Monk novel exploring justice, hypocrisy, and the cost of truth.
