Books like Seven Dials by Anne Perry
Thomas Pitt, a senior officer with Her Majesty's Special Branch, is summoned to Connaught Square in September to investigate a shocking murder. The victim, a junior diplomat, is found in a wheelbarrow on the estate, and the house's tenant, the celebrated Egyptian woman Ayesha Zakhari, becomes an immediate suspect. Pitt is instructed by Prime Minister Gladstone to protect the reputation of senior cabinet minister Saville Ryerson, who is rumored to be Ayesha's lover. As Pitt delves into the case, he discovers clues that point from the Victorian London slum of Seven Dials and the infamous Bedlam asylum to distant cotton fields in Egypt. The investigation culminates in a tense courtroom showdown at the Old Bailey, where the fate of Ayesha and Saville hangs in the balance.
