Synopsis
During a bitter election between Tories and Liberals, a late-night seance wounds one candidate's chances when the clairvoyant is found brutally murdered the next morning. This riveting new Thomas and Charlotte Pitt novel once again proves Anne Perry to be an absolute master of the people, mores, and politics of the Victorian era.
