![]() The mother who also says she had an unhappy marriage with the General himself, covers her daughter’s peccadillos up to avoid family scandals. We find that Christina, the daughter of the General herself strayed into high end brothels out of boredom with her straightlaced husband, whom the General seems to like. General comes and identifies the body for Thomas, who is scorned by both the butler and the wife of the General when he tries to visit General’s house to get him to come for identifying the corpse. But it also turns out to be the ex footman of General Ballantyne, who knew Pitt from a previous case (or in our case, a previous book from Anne Perry).

Thomas Pitt is brought in to see the body of Dr Hubert Pinchin, a well to do man in an abandoned building in a slum.He was stabbed in the back but his genitals were crudely cut off.
