A Breach of Promise -- Anne Perry

The defendant is Zillah's alleged fianc , brilliant young architect Killian Melville, who adamantly declares that he will not, <i>cannot, </i> marry her. Utterly baffled by his client's refusal, Melville's counsel, Sir Oliver Rathbone, turns to his old comrades in crime--William Monk and nurse Hester Latterly. But even as they scout London for clues, the case suddenly and tragically ends, in an outcome that no one--except a ruthless murderer--could have foreseen.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Anne Perry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ballantine Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/04/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 384<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.70lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.10w x 0.90d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780345523747<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Anne Perry</b> is the bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the William Monk novels, including <i>Blind Justice</i> and <i>A Sunless Sea</i>, the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including <i>Death on Blackheath</i> and <i>Midnight at Marble Arch. </i>She is also the author of a series of five World War I novels, as well as eleven holiday novels, most recently <i>A New York Christmas, </i> and a historical novel, <i>The Sheen on the Silk, </i> set in the Ottoman Empire.
