Two violent crimes challenge the investigative skills of young Daniel Pitt and his wife, Miriam, in the final novel of iconic mystery writer Anne Perry’s beloved Daniel Pitt series.

1913: Junior attorney Daniel Pitt must step in for his friend, fellow attorney Toby Kitteridge, whose parents have been brutally attacked. Toby’s mother is dead and his father, a village vicar, is barely alive. With Toby returning to the family home in rural Ipswich, struggling with grief and disbelief, Daniel remains in London to substitute for Toby and defend Peter Ward, on trial for the sexual assault and murder of a young woman.

Daniel is convinced that Ward is innocent, yet the evidence seems to prove otherwise. Eager to assist, his pathologist wife, Miriam fford Croft, offers her forensics expertise and exposes a community of fellow pathologists who may have purposefully omitted information from their autopsy reports. Despite Miriam’s involvement in the case, Daniel finds himself distracted by his desire to help Toby, who is too distraught to investigate the attack on his parents. And when the evidence points to Toby’s father as the killer of Toby’s mother, Daniel faces two of the greatest challenges of his young career: proving the innocence of both Peter Ward and Reverend Kitteridge. One mistake in London and a blameless man will hang. One mistake in Ipswich and Toby’s father will go to prison for life.

Death Times Seven, the seventh and final novel in Anne Perry’s Daniel Pitt series, was completed by Victoria Zackheim, an author and editor as well as Perry’s close friend. Rich in intrigue and courtroom drama, this engrossing novel marks a fitting finale to the career of an author widely praised as the queen of historical crime fiction.

“I love mysteries, and this is a fascinating one—Perry and Zackheim dish out the suspense, the insights, the details of the murders, the difficulties surrounding the people involved, the feelings and thoughts of the characters, and the setting (England) bit by bit—the more you read, the more you want to know, and you can’t stop. Death Times Seven is irresistible!”—Jane Smiley, author of Lidie: The Further Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton

“A towering achievement from a towering talent! Death Times Seven treats us to all of the hallmarks of Anne Perry’s fiction: nonstop plotting, rich psychological portraits of every single character (good and bad!), and her stunningly distinctive literary voice, unlike any other in the world of literature! Superb!”—Jeffrey Deaver, author of the Lincoln Rhyme and Colter Shaw series

“Death Times Seven forces a young attorney into battle against one of the most powerful men in England as he struggles to keep his law partner’s father from the gallows, while desperate to prove a young man innocent of the murder of seven young women. I loved the characters, the conflicts, and the rich descriptions of 1913 London. And most of all, the surprise ending!”—Robert Dugoni, author of The Tracy Crosswhite Series

“A superb finale to a wonderful career. Victoria Zackheim completes this work with loving care and admiration. An excellent mystery worthy of a master author.”—Charles Todd, author of the Ian Rutledge and Bess Crawford Mystery series

“Compassionate and deeply alive, rich with historical detail and brimming with suspense and moral intelligence, Death Times Seven is a must have for any mystery aficionado.”—Caroline Leavitt, author of Days of Wonder

“Completely enthralled with Death Times Seven, I consumed it with the verve of a starving woman. Our young lawyer does not disappoint as he struggles to exonerate the innocent, but it is brilliant Miriam, blazing new trails in a man’s world, who left me cheering and wanting more. Anne Perry and Victoria Zackheim’s creation is a brilliant and wholly satisfying page turner.”—Connie May Fowler, author of Before Women Had Wings
