Buckingham Palace gardens a novel

Pitt investigates the murder of a maid at Buckingham Palace, narrowing his group of suspects down to several house guests who are meeting with the Prince of Wales to discuss the funding of a huge project: the Cape to Cairo railway. While the Prince might overlook the unfortunate loss of a maid, the Queen, who is due back soon, will likely veto any Royal support in the scheme if she finds out.

  • "Ein neuer brisanter Fall in der Krimiserie um Thomas Pitt und das viktorianische London Mitten im Buckingham Palace taucht die Leiche einer Prostituierten auf. Täter scheint einer der illustren Gäste des Prince of Wales zu sein. Thomas Pitt muss in diesem hochbrisanten Fall ermitteln - unter grösstem Zeitdruck und zugleich so diskret wie möglich. Schon bald gerät er zwischen alle Fronten. Im Morgengrauen wird Thomas Pitt vom Staatsschutz geweckt, um den Mord an einer Prostituierten zu klären. Sein anfängliches Unverständnis für die Dringlichkeit des Falles legt sich, als er den Tatort hört: Buckingham Palace. Die Anzahl der Verdächtigen ist klein. Es muss sich im Grunde um einen der Gäste des Prince of Wales handeln, die im Palast zusammengekommen sind, um ein politisches Grossprojekt zu diskutieren. Der Prinz selbst wäre nur allzu bereit, das Geschehnis unter den Teppich zu kehren. Doch steht die Rückkehr der Queen unmittelbar bevor, und das Verbrechen soll unbedingt vorher aufgeklärt und möglichst aus der Welt geschafft sein. Mit grösster Vorsicht beginnt Pitt zu ermitteln und erhält einen faszinierenden und gefährlichen Einblick in das Palastleben, in dem Gesetze nicht viel gelten ... Die Engländerin Anne Perry, 1938 in London geboren, verbrachte einen Teil ihrer Jugend in Neuseeland und auf den Bahamas. Schon früh begann sie zu schreiben. Ihre historischen Kriminalromane zeichnen ein lebendiges Bild des spätviktorianischen England und begeistern mittlerweile ein Millionenpublikum. Anne Perry lebt und schreibt in Schottland.

  • "The Inspector Pitt series. Inspector Thomas Pitt and his superior Narraway arrive at Buckingham Palace where a prostitute has been brutally murdered. The Prince of Wales needs the Special Branch's help to apprehend the culprit, but it is imperative that the crime is solved, without any scandal, before Queen Victoria's imminent return to the palace. Pitt narrows the suspects down to a group of palace guests meeting with the Prince of Wales to discuss the funding for the Cape to Cairo railway. He realises that his investigation will mean having to reconcile his concept of justice with those who would deem it their right to make their own laws. For in high society, lineage and power are everything and it is a courageous man that stands in its way."
  • ""È primo mattino quando l'ispettore Thomas Pitt viene informato del truce omicidio di una prostituta. La vittima è stata sgozzata e sventrata, uno scempio che mette a dura prova anche i più assuefatti allo spettacolo della morte. Ordinaria amministrazione, tuttavia, se il delitto fosse stato commesso in un qualche bassofondo londinese. Invece la scena del crimine è nientemeno che Buckingham Palace, la residenza della regina. Inevitabile sospettare degli ospiti lì riuniti con il principe di Galles a discutere il progetto di una grande opera d'ingegneria, una linea ferroviaria da Città del Capo al Cairo attraverso tutta l'Africa. Un caso delicatissimo e dalle implicazioni esplosive per Pitt, che dovrà scoprire la verità e smascherare l'assassino aggirandosi nei corridoi della dimora regale. Sfidando con il suo senso di giustizia chi si ritiene in diritto, per i propri scopi, di farsi le leggi da sé. A qualsiasi costo."--"
