Synopsis
Anne Perry's adds a twist to her 16th novel featuring William Monk by giving the popular policeman a pesky case of temporary amnesia, brought on by a few too many blows to the noggin. But Monk is still clear-headed enough to know that a perverted psycho named Jericho Phillips is guilty of murder, even after a jury stupidly acquits him. In order to enact justice, the dazed Monk is forced to descend into the criminal world of the docks along the River Thames, where smuggling and stealing are assumed, and kidnapping and murder are endured., When a thirteen-year-old boy is found floating in the river Thames with his throat slit, William Monk, superintendent of the Thames River Police, pursues a child pornographer who runs a sex ring using small boys. Monk's wife Hester and several memorable characters from Dark Assassin return in this richly complex story.
