Plot Summary of Half Moon Street
"A photographer is found with his head crushed, wearing a velvet dress and chained to a boat. Inspector Pitt investigates a difficult case that deals with pornography and censorship. Perry has again written a suspenseful book with less preaching than usual, but with an annoying red herring and no Charlotte."
Andrea Miller, Resident Scholar
