Charlotte & Thomas Pitt #22
La medium di Southampton Row
Il mortale nemico di Thomas Pitt, Charles Voisey, si candida alle elazioni politiche. La minaccia è davvero terribile: se fosse eletto, Voisey potrebbe corrompere l'intera giustizia britannica. Purtroppo il suo avversario è un deputato liberale ingenuo e idealista, che corre il rischio di alienarsi gli elettori più conservatori con il suo utopistico programma di riforme. L'assassinio di una medium equivoca, dedita ad oscuri ricatti politici, avvelena ancora di più la campagna elettorale. Pitt inizia a indagare, ma forse la scoperta dell'omicida potrebbe rappresentare per Voisey un formidabile asso nella manica...
