This is the first in a new series of books by Anne Perry. It is a spin off of her current series featuring Charlotte and Thomas Pitt. I have not read any of those books and it did not make a difference while reading this book.

The book introduces us to Daniel Pitt, a lawyer and son of Charlotte and Thomas. Daniel has twenty-one days to save his client from hanging. I enjoyed the investigation and mystery solving as well as plenty of courtroom drama.

I will definitely continue with this series. My thanks to netgalley and Ballantine Books for this advanced readers copy.
