ISBN: 9780006510918
Category : Detective and mystery stories
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
The 17th in the popular series of Victorian murder mysteries featuring Thomas and Charlotte Pitt. To all outward appearances, it is yet another exclusive party at the magnificent Ashworth Hall. Select members of Victorian High Society gather for a weekend at the lavish country seat of up-and-coming MP Jack Radley, hosted by his charming wife, Emily. A phalanx of maids, valets, cooks and grooms is at the ready. Also in attendance are Emily's sister Charlotte and her husband, Thomas -- that is to say, Superintendent Pitt of Bow Street. For this is a secret conference on the heated subject of Irish Home Rule, with a team of negotiators finely balanced between Catholic and Protestant, extremist and moderate. The topic is full of urgency since the news of Parnell and Kitty O'Shea is about to emerge from the divorce courts. Beneath the patina of civilized talks lurk resentments and beliefs which give rise to devious acts and complex manipulations. Not all the delegates are convinced that their interests will be best served by peace. Not everyone will live to see the end of the conference...
