A Sunless Sea: A William Monk Novel

A Sunless Sea: A William Monk Novel
- Used Book in Good Condition
Anne Perryâ€™s spellbinding Victorian mysteries, especially those featuring William Monk, have enthralled readers for a generation. The Plain Dealer calls Monk â€œa marvelously dark, brooding creationâ€â€”and, true to form, this new Perry masterpiece is as deceptively deep and twisty as the Thames.
Â
As commander of the River Police, Monk is accustomed to violent death, but the mutilated female body found on Limehouse Pier one chilly December morning moves him with horror and pity. The victimâ€™s name is Zenia Gadney. Her waterfront neighbors can tell him littleâ€”only that the same unknown gentleman had visited her once a month for many years. She must be a prostitute, butâ€”described as quiet and kemptâ€”she doesnâ€™t appear to be a fallen woman.
Â
What sinister secrets could have made poor Zenia worth killing? And why does the government keep interfering in Monkâ€™s investigation?
Â
While the public cries out for blood, Monk, his spirited wife, Hester, and their brilliant barrister friend, Oliver Rathbone, search for answers. From dank waterfront alleys to Londonâ€™s fabulously wealthy West End, the three trail an ice-blooded murderer toward the unbelievable, possibly unprovable truthâ€”and ultimately engage their adversaries in an electric courtroom duel. But unless they can work a miracle, a monumental evil will go unpunished and an innocent person will hang.
Â
Anne Perry has never worn her literary colors with greater distinction than in A Sunless Sea, a heart-pounding novel of intrigue and suspense in which Monk is driven to make the hardest decision of his life.
