Publisher Description

On the bustling docks along the River Thames, Great Britain's merchant ships unload the treasures of the world. And here, in dank and sinister alleys, sex merchants ply their lucrative trade. The dreaded kingpin of this dark realm is Jericho Phillips, who seems far beyond the reach of the law. But when thirteen-year-old Fig is found with his throat cut, Commander William Monk of the River Police swears that Phillips will hang for this abomination. Monk's wife, Hester, draws a highly unusual guerrilla force to her husband's cause-a canny ratcatcher, a retired brothel keeper, a fearless street urchin, and a rebellious society lady. To one as criminally minded as Phillips, these folks are mere mosquitoes, to be sure. But as he will soon discover, some mosquitoes can have a deadly sting.

    " It was good. I like that there was more character development for Claudine and Squeaky Robinson. I also enjoyed seeing Rathbone in a new light. It was interesting to see him in opposition to Monk and Hester. "

    " I listened to this and it was like most of anne perry's books very well written and great period piece! I'd forgotten much about Monk's character and should read some of those books I've not read between now in this series. "

    " I really like all of Anne Perry's books. This one features Inspector Monk, who is married to Hester. Perry really does her research about Victorian England. "

    " This book was not my favorite of Anne Perry's. Generally I love every book she writes but the subject of this book (the child sex trade in Victorian England) is very depressing. It's not Perry's fault but I found this book to be both enlightening and sad. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This is the 18th novel in the series, and is definitely one of the better ones. Perry has tended to get a bit maudlin in the last few, but this one was grittier. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I think I may have enjoyed this book more if I had read the one before it. It seemed this story was a sort of continuation of that one. It was easy to catch on and get up to speed. What I like about Monk is that he changes quite a bit throughout the series and you continue to see that here. "
