Private enquiry agent William Monk is hired to investigate a potential case of fraud in the construction of a new railway line. His client is the fiancée of a man she fears is embroiled in the scheme, and Monk's investigation causes a strange sense of déjà vu--a former policeman afflicted with a case of amnesia concerning his prior life, Monk finds both the case and its milieu unsettlingly familiar. His case is somehow connected to the death of a railway magnate in a sleazy area of London where Monk's wife Hester, a nurse, operates a shelter for abused prostitutes. The women have been doubly victimized by an extortion scheme in which the dead man, who turns out to have been Monk's employer during his "lost" years, may have been involved. More than an ingenious way to fill in Monk's backstory, Anne Perry's newest mystery featuring the enigmatic investigator deepens the reader's understanding of an unusual and compelling protagonist and brings Victorian-era England vividly to life.

At last we find the answers to the mystery of Monk's identity and that of his unknown mentor. This is one of the best in the series, with a plot that fairly gallops compared to others in the series. Very dramatic ending with both Hester and Monk involved unknowingly in the development of events that lead up to the climax. Skip ahead to this one in the series if you want to know the answer. It won't spoil any of the others. Great story.

Mystery set in 1800's England. This one is a William Monk book.
