_Blind Justice_
by Anne Perry
Arthur Ballinger got his revenge on his daughter's husband, Sir Oliver
Rathbone, for not getting him acquitted of murder charges by leaving
the lawyer photographs of members of the club he'd started. The club
consisted of some of the most powerful and influential men throughout
Great Britain taking their pleasure with boys provided them by
Ballinger's people. Already Rathbone has used one of the photos to
convince a witness to tell the truth in court; now that he's been
appointed to the bench he offers a second photo to the prosecuting
attorney to use in getting a witness's testimony recognized as
unreliable.
But someone has recognized that the photo that the prosecutor shows to
the defense attorney and his witness must have been given to the
prosecutor by Rathbone, and Oliver finds himself suddenly in prison
himself and on trial for corrupting justice in Her Majesty's courts!
Who has done this, and how can William and Hester Monk help Oliver get
through his ordeal? And why did a minister who was caught defrauding
his congregation apparently kill his wife and daughters before
committing suicide? Or is there something more sinister going on?
Got this in print from the Mystery Guild, started reading it last
night, and couldn't put it down till I finished it this morning just
before the alarm rang. Definitely one of Perry's best books in the
Monk series! Available through Audible, I believe.
