DEATH IN THE DEVIL'S ACRE by Anne Perry

PBK/MYS
PERRY, A.

A series of brutal murders takes place in the red light district of London during the late 1880s. Police Inspector Thomas Pitt is called to investigate to see if there's a tie between the murder victims: a middle aged doctor, a former footman, a very rich and titled gentleman, and a math teacher. All were stabbed in the back and mutilated.

Pitt and his wife Charlotte race against time to find the killer. The search leads them to aristocratic families with secrets to hide, as well as to the underside of Victorian London.
