Stunning intrigue!

The Fourth Enemy (Daniel Pitt #6) by Anne Perry     

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Daniel has at last married Miriam fford Croft!. I’m ecstatic about that!

Her father Marcus has decided to retire and has invited Gideon Hunter to be the new Barrister for their rooms. For the firm to maintain its position a King’s Council, a Silk, is needed.

Gideon’s first case with Croft’s is one of fraud against a powerful financier.

No-one will testify against Malcolm Vayne. Two people agree, an elderly woman who has done the organizations bookkeeping, and a man whose family is no longer in the country.

Both have accidents or something more sinister before they are to testify.

Sir Thomas Pitt is also interested in Vayne. He sees connections between Vayne, the home government, other nations, and powerful interests abroad.

Things begin to deteriorate with Hunter and Daniel’s case, and as they attempt to shore it up Daniel receives shocking news that has all other thoughts flee!

Dr. Evelyn Hall and Miriam have been attacked at the pathology center and Miriam has been kidnapped. 

An extraordinary happening that has Daniel haring off with his friend Detective Ian Frobisher, chasing Miriam into unknown dangers.

Once more Perry had me up all night reading, hanging on every word, unsure of the trial outcome and frightened for Miriam and Daniel.

Another stand in the aisles and cheer, “bravo” performance from Perry.
