Pentecost Alley by Anne Perry
Following the death of a young prostitute, a strange badge is found beneath her body. The insignia proclaims it to be an emblem of the Hellfire Club, and on the back is engraved the name of Finlay FitzJames. So begins Superintendent Pitt's curious association with the wealthy FitzJames family.
'PENTECOST ALLEY demonstrates Perry's trademark skill for enhancing well-designed mystery plots with convincing historical settings and cleverly drawn relationships..As Perry edges towards her surprise ending, she crafts her tale with elegance, narrative depth and gratifying scope' Publishers Weekly 'The Pitt books are characterised by well-observed period detail, a fascination with miscarriages of justice and the high drama of the law, and intense scrutiny of family secrets.' Robert McCrum 'Excellent period thriller...admirably well-written' Guardian
