Seven dials

Thomas Pitt, mainstay of Her Majesty's Special Branch, is summoned to Connaught Square mansion, where the body of a junior diplomat lies huddled in a wheelbarrow. Nearby stands the tenant of the house, the beautiful, notorious Egyptian woman Ayesha Zakhari, who falls under the shadow of suspicion. Pitt's orders are to protect--at all costs--the good name of the third person in the garden: senior cabinet minister Saville Ryerson. The distinguished public servant, whispered to be Ayesha's lover, insists that she is as innocent as Pitt himself. Pitt's journey to uncover the truth takes him from Egyptian cotton fields to the insidious London slum called Seven Dials--and ultimately to a packed London courtroom in which shocking secrets will at last be revealed.

  • "Thomas Pitt, membre de la Special Branch, se voit confier une périlleuse affaire. Ayesha Zakhari, maîtresse d'un ministre du gouvernement de Sa Majesté Victoria, a été surprise alors qu'elle transportait le corps d'un jeune diplomate fraîchement assassiné. Détail embarrassant, le ministre se trouvait sur les lieux du crime. S'agit-il d'un crime passionnel ou d'un sordide piège politique ?"

  • "Als die bildschöne Ägypterin Ayesha - Geliebte eines britischen Ministers - mit einem Mordfall in Verbindung gebracht wird, muss Inspektor Pitt in geheimer Mission nach Alexandria reisen. Dort soll er alles über die Vergangenheit dieser rätselhaften Frau herausfinden. Auf dem Anwesen von Ayesha Zakhari, der ägyptischen Geliebten des britischen Ministers Ryerson, kommt es zu einem Mord: Ein ehemaliger Offizier der Streitkräfte wird erschossen. Ayeshas Versuch, sich der Leiche zu entledigen, schlägt fehl, denn ausgerechnet in diesem Moment trifft die Polizei am Tatort ein. Für sie besteht kein Zweifel daran, dass die Ägypterin den Mord begangen haben muss. Für Inspektor Pitt hingegen liegen die Dinge nicht so klar. Vor allem die Rolle von Minister Ryerson ist ihm ein Rätsel. Und ist es Zufall, dass es ausgerechnet jetzt zu einer diplomatischen Krise zwischen Ägypten und dem Vereinigten Königreich kommt? Während Pitt nach Alexandria reist, um mehr über Ayeshas Vergangenheit herauszufinden, ermittelt seine Ehefrau Charlotte in London. Am Ende fügen sich die Puzzleteile auf höchst überraschende Weise zusammen... 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. Mehr Informationen zur Autorin und ihren Büchern unter: www.anneperry.co.uk."
