Half Moon Street

Description

In Victorian London, Police Superintendent Thomas Pitt is summoned to investigate a shocking murder: a man found dressed in women’s clothing and chained to the side of a boat. As Pitt follows a trail through the city’s rigid social hierarchies, he encounters secrets that respectable society is determined to keep hidden. The case explores Victorian attitudes toward sexuality, class, reputation, and the boundaries of acceptable identity, while Anne Perry’s atmospheric, character-driven style brings the era’s tensions vividly to life.
