Description
A gripping Victorian mystery of blackmail, vice and corruption, Acceptable Loss is the seventeenth novel in Anne Perry's acclaimed William Monk series. In 1864, Monk is determined to find the men funding a child prostitution ring that has left a young boy scarred for life.
When a small-time crook's body washes up on Mortlake's shore, it sets Monk on a perilous trail of investigation. As he delves deeper into the case, respected gentlemen are brought to question, and Monk must navigate an illicit world where reputations are at stake and danger lurks around every corner.
With his conscience guiding him through treacherous waters, Monk must uncover the truth, no matter how disturbing it may be. Will he be able to bring justice to those responsible, or will the corrupt forces of vice prevail?
