- Synopsis
- Legendary nineteenth-century London judge Sir John Fielding returns in the fourth--and most thrilling--of Bruce Alexander's highly praised mysteries. From the first book, the mystery lovers verdict has been unanimous: the Fielding hooks are "enthralling" (The New York Times Book Review), "first-rate" (The Boston Globe), "wonderful, beautifully written and altogether fun: (The Washington Post). John Fielding was famous not only as cofounder of London's first police force, the Bow Street Runners, but also as a magistrate of keen intellect, fairness and uncommon detective ability. When a crime was committed, he often took it upon himself to solve it. What made this all the more remarkable was that he was blind. Now the blind magistrate and his young assistant and ward, Jeremy Proctor, face a series of crimes that hit shockingly close to home. Prostitutes are being murdered around Covent Garden, and there are troubling implications about the identity of the killer. Baffled and frustrated, Fielding devises a daring and desperate plan, but the consequences are unexpected and more terrible even than he could imagine. Filled with the authentic sights and sounds and atmosphere of the times, and with a supremely colorful and varied cast of characters, Person or Persons Unknown is in every way a worthy addition to a marvelous series. BRUCE ALEXANDER is the pseudonym for a well-known author of fiction and nonfiction. The previous books in the series are Blind Justice, Murder in Grub Street (named by The New York Times Book Review as one of the Notable Books of 1995 in crime fiction) and Watery Grave. Alexander is at work on the fifth Sir John Fielding novel.
