Paris, 1786...political ferment, fiscal crisis and social
tension...
Mute Witness is the first in a series of
historical mysteries, set in England and France on the eve of the
French Revolution. The female protagonist is Anne Cartier, a
headstrong young vaudeville actress at Sadler's Wells in London, who
leaves the stage in favor of tutoring deaf children. Her new calling
sometimes brings her into murderous company. |
