If protecting the innocent means breaking the law, what is the right choice to make?

Inspector William Monk searches for the elusive truth in a controversial and dangerous case in Blind Justice, the nineteenth novel in Anne Perry’s acclaimed series. Perfect for fans of C. J. Sansom and Arthur Conan Doyle.


‘A staggering achievement… Perry’s command of plot and prose shines’ – Bookreporter

Oliver Rathbone, William Monk’s close friend, has presided brilliantly over his first cases as a judge. But the next will bring a far greater challenge. Abel Taft, a charismatic minister adored by his congregation, stands accused of terrible corruption and fraud which has ruined the lives of those he’s betrayed.

In court, each victim affirms Taft’s guilt, but when the defence’s star witness tears their stories apart, the case seems lost. Rathbone realises he holds, locked away, a piece of evidence that could change the outcome of the trial and bring true justice, but can he, as the judge, become involved? The decision Rathbone makes will draw Monk deep into a dangerous case that will shape the rest of both their lives…

Winner of the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award for Best Historical Novel 2014.
