Thomas Pitt, once a lowly policeman, is now the powerful head of Britain's Special Branch, and some people fear that he may have been promoted beyond his abilities. He, too, feels painful moments of self-doubt, especially as rumors reach him of a plot to blow up connections on the Dover-London rail line--on which Austrian duke Alois Habsburg is soon to travel to visit his royal English kin. Why would anyone destroy an entire train to kill one obscure Austrian royal, or are the rumors designed to distract Pitt from an even more devastating plot? He must resolve this riddle at once, before the damage is done. Meanwhile, in a London sickroom, an old Italian woman--at the end of a romantic career as a revolutionary spy--is terrified that as she sinks into dementia, she may divulge secrets that can kill. And a beautiful young Croatian woman, married to a British power broker, hoards her own mysteries. Apparently all roads lead to the Continent, and Pitt suspects that between them these two fascinating women could tell him things he desperately needs to know. But as the hours tick by, it seems that the only woman Pitt can count on is his clever wife, Charlotte.

Rather Disappointing submitted by sdunav on July 12, 2012, 1:06pm The mystery wasn't as good as some of Perry's other books in this series, and the characters didn't develop much. I almost stopped reading several times - but then it did pick up a bit near the very end.

I'd only recommend it if you're a diehard fan of Thomas & Charlotte Pitt.

Ok submitted by radha_sarma_srinivas on July 11, 2015, 12:53pm This book was ok, but there are better mysteries out there..........
