Synopsis
"Richly 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....
A Dual Main Selection of the Mystery Guild

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.
