Defend and Betray by Anne Perry
After a brilliant military career, esteemed General Thaddeus Carlyon finally meets his death, not in the frenzy of battle but at an elegant London dinner party. His demise appears to be the result of a freak accident, but the general's beautiful wife, Alexandra, readily confesses that she killed him-a story she clings to even under the threat of the noose. Investigator William Monk, nurse Hester Latterly, and brilliant Oliver Rathbone, counsel for the defense, work feverishly to break down the wall of silence raised by the accused and her husband's proud family. With the trial only days away, these there sleuths inch toward the dark and appalling heart of the mystery.Anne Perry is the New York Times bestselling author of two acclaimed Victorian England series: the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, which include Buckingham Palace Gardens and Long Spoon Lane, and the William Monk novels, which include Execution Dock and Black Assassin. She has also written a series of five World War I novels, as well as seven holiday novels, the most recent of which is A Christmas Odyssey, and a historical tale set in the Ottoman Empire called The Sheen on the Silk. Anne Perry is a Scottish author.
