Riding high on the year's-best lists of the Chicago
Tribune, Publishers Weekly, and The New York Times Book
Review, the Fielding books have been proclaimed from the
start as "wonderful, beautifully written, and altogether
fun" (The Washington Post). Now the blind magistrate and
his young assistant, Jeremy Proctor, face a baffling pair
of deaths. A lord dies suddenly while attending a concert.
A disembodied head washes up on the banks of the Thames.
While investigating both, Sir John and Jeremy will learn a
great deal more than they ever cared to about family,
greed, deception..and the peculiar nature of homicide, high
and low. Filled with the authentic sights and sounds of the
era, this is in every way a worthy addition to a marvelous
series.
