À propos de ce produit
Product Information
Anne Cartier, a teacher of the deaf, accepts an offer to help a deaf child whose governess died in a fall down the stairs of the family's palatial mansion. Anne suspects the death might not have been an accident and begins to investigate. She is aided by her friend and suitor, Paul de Saint-Martin. They believe the young woman's death may have been the work of renegade French army officer Captain Fitzroy, already accused of a brutal rape in Paris. Fitzroy has found refuge at the mansion with his cousin and intimate friend, Lady Margaret, lady of the house and wife of slaver Sir Harry Rogers. Soon Anne discovers she must protect as well as teach young Charlie. Watching it all is Lord Jeff, a black footman and a bare-knuckle fighter of impressive skill who may win Sir Harry a large purse. But the slave has his own agenda. The abolition of slavery is a hot topic in Bath, a city that draws much of its wealth from that brutal business.

Reviews
"...This sequel offers fully realized characters, a complex plot and a surprise ending sure to satisfy...The narrative flows smoothly, and O'Brien has neatly caught the tenor of the time, when being fashionable was of more importance than acting morally. FYI: Mute Witness was nominated for an Agatha Award for Best First Novel. -- Publisher's Weekly "O'Brien provides a whole package for mystery lovers: a brave heroine and hero; several mysteries to solve; a socially conscious subplot (involving an African woman whom Sir Harry is training to be a boxer); and an evocation of a place and time that adds depth and precision to the rest of the tale. This is a historical mystery to get lost in, satisfying at every level." -- Booklist "Fans of Iain Pears rich historical mysteries will want to read Black Gold, a work rich in period detail with characters that are unique to the era. Charles O'Brien is a gifted storyteller who writes about the aristocracy of the late eighteenth century from a commoner's point of view. The novel takes the moral high ground, which helps explain why the protagonists are to appealing." -- Midwest Book Review , The pace is relentless; the characters are richly and fully drawn...a complex, richly detailed, well-written historical novel., If not quite up to the high standard set by O'Brien's first historical, Mute Winess (2001), this sequel offers fully realized characters, a complex plot and a surprise ending sure to satisfy. In the winter of 1787, Col. Paul de Saint-Martin, who played a leading role in Mute Witness, travels to England to track down an Irish rogue, Captain Marurice Fitzroy, who's been accused of raping a young woman of aristocratic birth while visiting Paris. A side benefit of the trip is the opportunity to see Anne Cartier, a teacher of the deaf, whom Paul befriended in the earlier book. Anne is employed as a tutor to the young son of Sir Harry Rogers, a self-made merchant and slave-trader who resides near Bath. Paul and Sir Harry strike up a friendship during a training session of Sir Harry's prize-fighter slave, and Paul soon becomes the slaver's house guest at Combe Park. Among the ill-assorted group are Sir Harry and his wife, Lady Margaret, Captain Fitzroy, and Anne and her charge, who bears a striking resemblance to the captain. Also at Bath is the infamous Jack Roach, who is blackmailing several of the city's inhabitants, perhaps even Lady Margaret herself O'Brien has a knack for portraying strong male characters, such as Paul, Sir Harry and Burton, the Bow Street Runner investigating charges against Roach. Anne, alas, has a lot less to do than she did in Mute Witness. The narrative flows smoothly, and O'Brien has neatly caught the tenor of the time, when being fashionable was of more importance than acting morally.
