About
Readers of Anne Perry's bestselling suspense novels revel in a world that is all their own, sharing the privileged existence of Britain's wealthy and powerful elite in West End mansions and great country houses. It is also a world in which danger bides in unsuspected places and the line between good and evil can be razor thin. This new novel features Lady Vespasia Cumming-Gould-one of the most memorable characters from the Thomas Pitt series-who appears here as a lively young woman, the ultimate aristocrat who can trace her blood to half the royal houses of Europe.

Reviews
"That rarest of seasonal thrillers: one that exemplifies the message and spirit of the holiday…This brief work has an almost Jamesian subtlety, and with its powerful message of responsibility and redemption-"We need both to forgive and to be forgiven"-it conveys a moral force in keeping with the season."
Wall Street Journal
"A doozy of a Christmas mystery."
Dallas Morning News
"Set in Victorian England, this novelette has all the poignancy one might expect from Anne Perry…With subtle tone and pacing, Terrence Hardiman infuses Isobel's careless remark with the depth of cruelty it reveals."
