Description
La apasionante nueva novela de Perry protagonizada por Charlotte y Thomas Pitt nos invita a regresar al Londres victoriano, donde la codicia y la ambición nunca duermen y las pasiones a veces se desbocan.El siglo XIX llega a su fin y casi toda Europa se encuentra sumida en una profunda crisis política. Las amenazas terroristas proliferan y asuelan el continente.En este contexto, Sofía Delacruz llega a Londres procedente de España para predicar un evangelio revolucionario de amor y perdón que muchos consideran blasfemo. Thomas Pitt recibe el encargo de proteger a Sofía y también al gobierno de Su Majestad de cualquier situación bochornosa que esa mujer -tan bella como carismática- pudiera causar.Cuando de pronto Sofía desaparece y dos de sus seguidoras son brutalmente asesinadas, Pitt se enfrenta a su mayor desafío. ¿Acaso Barton Hall, el rico primo banquero de Sofía, está involucrado de algún modo? Y ¿por qué Dalton Trague, la estrella del críquet, se ha deslizado dentro de la investigación de Pitt? Temeroso de que estos hechos puedan desencadenar un incidente internacional, Pitt acepta la ayuda de tres aliados: su inteligente esposa Charlotte, su tía abuela lady Vespasia y su amigo Victor Narraway.
