Reseña: THE WHITECHAPEL CONSPIRACY is a beauty brilliantly presented ingeniously developed and packed with political implications that reverberate on every level of British society. -The New York Times Book Review In 1892 the grisly murders of Whitechapel prostitutes by a killer dubbed Jack the Ripper remain a terrifying enigma. And in a packed Old Bailey courtroom Superintendent Thomas Pitts testimony causes distinguished soldier John Adinett to be sentenced to hang for the inexplicable murder of a friend. Instead of being praised for his key testimony Pitt is removed from his station command and transferred to Whitechapel one of the East Ends most dangerous slums. There he must work undercover investigating alleged anarchist plots. Among his few allies are his clever wife Charlotte and intrepid Gracie the maid who can travel unremarked in Whitechapel. But none of them anticipate the horrors to be revealed. . . . ONE OF HER BEST MYSTERIES EVER . . . You cant put this book down. . . . Each scene each encounter takes on a many-layered resonance. -The Providence Sunday Journal A POWERHOUSE OF A HISTORY-MYSTERY . . . Reading Perry is a bit like reading Thackeray edited by Elmore Leonard. -Booklist (starred review)
