From the Publisher
At first I didn't much like William Monk, the hero of Anne Perry's second Victorian mystery series, a surprise since I'd been quite taken with her Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series. Monk is not nearly as attractive a protagonist, at least on the surface. In this, his first adventure, he suffers from amnesia and must rely on others to tell him who he is, where he lives, and where he works. It turns out he's a police detective, whose first duty is now to discover who he was before his accident. He doesn't much like what he finds -- an almost universally disliked man. It's true that he's unpleasant, and it's really difficult to like him. Yet there's something intriguing about a character who gets a chance to stand outside his life and see himself as others do, particularly if he learns enough to try to change their perceptions as he himself changes. It's an interesting premise, and as the series has progressed he's become one of Anne Perry's most fully developed characters ever.
--Margaret Sanborn, Senior Publicity Copywriter
From the Inside Flap
textured with the sights and sounds of London and its countryside...Solidly absorbing and Perry's best to date."
THE KIRKUS REVIEWS
His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detecive. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monk's efforts doubly difficult, since he's forgotten his professional skills along with everything else....

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. He is not going to die, after all, in this Victorian pesthouse called a hospital. But the accident that felled him on a London street has left him with only half a life, because his memory and his entire past have vanished. His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective; the mirror reflects a face that women woud like, but he senses he has been more feared than loved. Monk is given a particularly sensational case: the brutal murder of Major the Honourable Joscelin Grey, Crimean war hero and a popular man about town, in his rooms in fashionable Mecklenburgh Square. It's an assignment to make or break an investigator, for the exalted status of the victim puts any representative of the police in the precarious position of having to pry into a noble family's secrets. Suggesting that his superior, the wily Runcorn, hopes he will fail, Monk returns to a world where he cannot distinguish friend from foe. Grasping desperately for any clue to his own past and to the identity of the killer, each new revelation leads Monk step by terrifying step to the answers he seeks but dreads to find. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001229291
