The Leaden Heart by Chris NicksonMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
THE LEADEN HEART is #7 in the excellent historical series whose protagonist is a Leeds, England, Superintendent of Police at the end of the 19th century--the late Victorian Era. Harper is a man of sound and strong character and high moral integrity and his wifs Annabelle is a Guardian of the Law who tends to women and children living in poverty or worse. Leeds is a prosperous municipality, but that prosperity is confined to a small minority while a majority are poverty-stricken and even the middle-class must struggle. The suicide of a former colleague and friend lead Harper to discover an ugly conspiracy propelled by greed and cupidity.
