Condition: New

The murder of a prostitute named Ada McKinley in a bedroom on decrepit Pentecost Alley should occasion no stir in Victorias great metropolis, but under the victims body, the police find a Hellfire Club badge inscribed with the name Finlay Fitzjames-a name that instantly draws Superintendent Thomas Pitt into the case. Finlays father-immensely wealthy, powerful, and dangerous-refuses to consider the possibility that his son has been in Ada McKinleys bed. The implication is clear: Pitt is to arrest someone other than Finlay Fitzjames for Adas demise. But Thomas Pitt is not a man to be intimidated, and with the help of his quick-witted wife, Charlotte, he stubbornly pursues his investigation-one that twists and turns like Londons own ancient streets.
