In this exhilarating series debut, police detective William Monk must solve the mystery of his own past.
His name, they tell him, is William Monk, and he is a London police detective. But the accident that felled him has left him with only half a life; his memory and his entire past have vanished. As he tries to hide the truth, Monk returns to work and is assigned to investigate the
brutal murder of a Crimean War hero and man about town. Which makes Monkâs efforts doubly difficult, since heâs forgotten his professional skills along with everything else.
âRichly textured with the sights and sounds of London and its countryside ⊠Solidly absorbing and Perryâs best to date.ââKirkus Reviews
