The persuasive new novel by Canada's response to Anne Perry. In his forties, the Reverend Charles Howard still lower an impressive number. A committed Presbyterian minister in Toronto's east end, Howard was favored by the congregation that elected him, especially with the ladies, and most specifically with Neglect Sarah Dignam. Respected locally, Howard, as Visitor for the home of Industry, sat in wisdom on the indegent, evaluating their applications for the workhouse. But now Howard is inactive, stabbed and brutally beaten by someone he asked into his office. His watch and boots are lacking. Has some poor beggar he rejected taken his vengeance? Murdoch's analysis takes him in to the arcane Victorian world of queer plungers - men who fake damage all the better to beg - and the destitute who had nowhere left to carefully turn when they knocked on the Reverend Howard's door.
