Long Spoon Lane (Charlotte and Thomas Pitt)
by Anne Perry
Category: Fiction

A New York Times Bestseller Long Spoon Lane is a miracle of suspense, of plot and counterplot, bluff and counterbluff, in a take-no-prisoners battle between good and evil. In New York Times bestselling author Anne Perry's newest novel featuring Victorian-era sleuth Thomas Pitt, London is a city besieged by anarchists. After a violent gun battle between rioters and police, a chase culminates in narrow, cobbled Long Spoon Lane, where Magnus Landsborough, the young son of Lord Sheridan Landsborough, is shot to death. Two anarchists are arrested, and they provide conflicting evidence about Landsborough's death: was he the victim of an accident or murder, and was he a hostage of the anarchists or an anarchist himself? Anne Perry lives in Scotland Anne Perry is the bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including Southampton Row and Seven Dials, and the William Monk novels, most recently Death of a Stranger and The Shifting Tide. Most of Perry's novels are set in the Victorian era, though she has also written books set in the early 20th century, edited anthologies, and even has a fantasy title in her bibliography
