Southampton Row (Windsor Selection S.) - Hardcover

It's 1892, and an election is just days away. The political climate is perfect for Charles Voisey, an evil man with selfish ambitions to put himself forward as a Tory candidate. Thomas Pitt has been demoted to work in Special Branch, and his first case is to obtain every piece of information he can that might stop Voisey winning his Tory seat. Within hours of beginning his investigation, Pitt is summoned to Southampton Row, where the murder of a famous medium, Maude Lamont, has been reported. The murder was grotesque and personal. Who were Maude's clients the night she died? And what had been revealed?
