The Whitechapel Conspiracy
Anne Perry
In 1892, Queen Victoria clings to her widow's weeds and seclusion while
her bored heir, The Prince of Wales, outrages everyone with his mistresses
and profligate spending. And in a packed courtroom, William Pitt's
testimony causes distinguished soldier John Adinett to be sentenced to
hang for the inexplicable murder of his friend, Martin Fetters. Instead
of being rewarded, Pitt is removed from his command at Bow Street Station
and transferred to the Special Branch in the dangerous East End. There he
is to investigate alleged anarchist plots, working undercover and far from
his family, in Whitechapel, one of the worst slums.
