Blind eighteenth-century London judge Sir John Fielding
returns in the tenth novel of Bruce Alexander's critically
acclaimed mystery series.
In The Price of Murder, Sir John and Jeremy are drawn deep
into the notorious Seven Dials section of London, where
they must contend with the most sordid inclinations of both
the working class and the aristocracy.
When the body of a young girl is pulled from the Thames,
Sir John and Jeremy begin to investigate; but the girl's
mother is nowhere to be found, until Jeremy's search for
clues leads him to the racetrack. There, he discovers just
how dangerous the high-stakes battle is that he has gotten
himself into-and, when an acquaintance of his own suddenly
disappears, just how terribly steep the odds.
