  • ""La vigesimoséptima novela de la serie del inspector Pitt. Thomas Pitt acaba de ser nombrado jefe de la Brigada Especial. Muchos piensan que no está capacitado para el cargo... Incluso él, lo piensa. Sin embargo, no es momento para inseguridades ya que deberá utilizar todo su ingenio para afrontar una nueva amenaza: existe una sólida sospecha de que se está preparando un atentado en la línea ferroviaria que conecta Dover y Londres. Por si fuera poco, en unos días el duque Alois de Habsburgo llegará a la capital, y Pitt piensa que él podría ser el objetivo. Entretanto, su tía Vespasia visita a una vieja amiga en su residencia de Dorchester Terrace. Se trata de Serafina Monserrat, una ex espía de origen italiano con demencia senil, que sufre por si revela algún secreto confidencial. Pero ella no es la única... Alguien más comparte su temor, alguien que no dudará en asesinarla. Thomas Pitt, que ayuda a su tía a investigar la muerte de la anciana, no tardará en descubrir que ambos casos están relacionados."--"
  • "1896. Newly promoted to Head of Special Branch, Thomas Pitt is forced to face the danger his new position brings when he uncovers the work of a traitor in his department. Not knowing who to trust, he must unmask the conspirator, whist simultaneously protecting a suspected target, Austrian state visitor Duke Alois. Meanwhile, Victor Narraway is investigating the mysterious death of Serafina Monserrat. Once the holder of many sensitive, political secrets, Serafina had suffered from dementia in her later years and Narraway is unsure whether what he has uncovered in his search for answers is the confused ramblings of an old woman, or a catastrophic plot which could trigger a war the likes of which the world has never seen before. As the two investigations come ever closer it is clear that bluff and double-bluff are at play. When Pitt finally comes face to face with the suspected traitor will he, knowing the fate of the world is at stake, find the strength to stop the man by any means necessary?"

  • "Verrat und Intrigen im viktorianischen London London 1896: Gerade ist Thomas Pitt zum Chef des Geheimdienstes aufgestiegen, da überstürzen sich schon die Ereignisse: Ein wichtiger österreichischer Diplomat kommt auf Staatsbesuch und Umstürzler planen ein Attentat. Ein Verräter in Pitts Behörde betreibt seinen Sturz. Und dann wird eine Frau im noblen Viertel Dorchester Terrace grausam ermordet.

  • "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."@en
