Half Moon Street

Half Moon Street by Perry, Anne. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780449006559.

For superintendent Thomas Pitt, the sight of the dead man riding the morning tide of the Thames is unforgettable. He lies in a battered punt drifting through the morning mist, his arms and legs chained to the boats sides. He is clad in a torn green gown and flowers bestrew his battered body. Pitts determined search for answers to the victims identity leads him deep into Londons bohemia to the theatre where beautiful Cecily Antrim is outraging society with her bold portrayal of a modern woman--and into studios where masters of light and shadow are experimenting with the fascinating new art of photography. But only Pitts most relentless pursuit enables him to identify the wildfire passions raging through this tragedy of good and evil, to hunt down the guilty and protect the innocent.
