This is the sixth book in the Daniel Pitt series. Sadly, Anne Perry passed away very recently, so unless there are some pre-written installments, this is the last book.

Daniel Pitt is named second prosecutor on a fraud case against Malcolm Vayne, a wealthy and popular philanthropist who is the mastermind of a ponzi scheme. At the same time, Daniel's wife Miriam becomes active in the women's suffrage movement, and when Vayne supports this cause, it only increases his favor in the public eye.

This story moved slowly for me for the first part of the book, but it does pick up later and provides excitement, danger, and intrigue. I love Miriam's independence and her relationship with Daniel, and I find it interesting that she is 15 years older than him at that time in history. I had not read the other books in the series, but it does stand up well alone. Anne Perry fans will not be disappointed. Rest in Peace, Anne.
