Historical Fiction

Defend and Betray

by Anne Perry · William Monk series

A decorated general is murdered, and his daughter-in-law stands accused — but the truth buried within a respectable military family is far more complex. Monk and his allies must unravel a knot of duty, betrayal, and carefully maintained appearances in a society where reputation is everything. Justice and loyalty rarely point in the same direction.
