Publisher Description
When Countess Zorah Rostova asks London barrister Sir Oliver Rathbone to defend her against a charge of slander, he is astonished to find himself accepting. For without a shred of evidence, the countess has publicly insisted that the onetime ruler of her small German principality was murdered by his wife, the woman who was responsible for the prince’s exile to Venice twenty years before. Private investigator William Monk and his friend Hester Latterly journey to the City of Water in an attempt verify the countess’s claims, and though the two manage to establish that the prince was indeed murdered, as events unfold the likeliest suspect seems to be Countess Zorah herself.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Victorian amnesiac sleuth William Monk's seventh appearance has him working to clear Countess Zorah Rostova of murder charges.
Customer Reviews
Weighed in the balance.
Not one of Perry's better novels. Characters not as well defined as usual, with long pointless conversations. This was not a Monk novel as much as a German history review.
