Despite the loss of his job, Pitt is still intent on his pursuit of justice…
A bitter resentment from a powerful source ensures Pitt gets more than he bargained for in Anne Perry’s gripping mystery, The Whitechapel Conspiracy. Perfect for fans of C. J. Samson and Ann Granger.
‘A beauty, brilliantly presented, ingeniously developed and packed with political implications that reverberate on every level of British society… Pitt delivers Perry’s most harrowing insights into the secret lives of the elegant Victorians who have long enchanted and repelled her’ – New York Times Book Review
When evidence presented in court by Thomas Pitt leads to the execution of a distinguished soldier and archaeologist, the retaliation from the hanged man’s influential friends is swift. The murderer was a member of the Inner Circle, a group of men whose power extends further than Pitt realised was possible, and, within days, he loses command of the Bow Street police station. To protect him from the Inner Circle’s hatred, he is forced to leave his family to work undercover in the dangerously volatile East End.

A beauty, brilliantly presented, ingeniously developed and packed with political implications that reverberate on every level of British society... Pitt delivers Perry's most harrowing insights into the secret lives of the elegant Victorians who have long enchanted and repelled her
One of the finest performances of Anne Perry's career. A mesmerising and suspenseful tale, rich in period detail, rife with articulate and believable characters
An Anne Perry novel is a delight to read as much for its Victorian-era details as for the mystery it unfolds
Her Victorian England pulsates with life and is peopled with wonderfully memorable characters
Perry has a wonderful feel for period and remains utterly convincing
Perry has the great gift of making [the Victorian era] seem immediate and very much alive
When it comes to the Victorian mystery, Anne Perry has proved that nobody does it better
The period detail remains fascinating, and [Perry's] grasp of Victorian character and conscience still astonishes
[Anne] Perry's strengths: memorable characters and an ability to evoke the Victorian era with the finely wrought detail of a miniaturist
Perry is a forceful plotter and a consistently polished writer
