Parliament of Victoria

For many years Anne Perry's magnificent novels have transported millions of readers into the very heart of one of the richest, most vibrant societies the world has ever known: England in the golden ages of Queen Victoria. Gaslight, cobblestones, halls of power, haunts of vice-all the splendor and sordidness of a world that believed the opulence would last forever. But now, toward the end of her long reign, Victoria's gold is tarnishing. With a general election fast approaching, a deep rift separates aristocratic Tories from the Liberal opposition. The powerful Inner Circle-a secret society of men sworn to support each other above all other loyalties-is committed to seizing one critical seat in Parliament, a first step towards the achievement of sinister secret ambitions. Passions are so enflamed that Thomas Pitt, shrewd mainstay of the London police, has been ordered to forego his long awaited vacation, not to solve a crime, but to prevent a national disaster. The Tory candidate is Pitt's archenemy, Charles Voisey, a ruthless leader in the Inner Circle. The Liberal candidate is Aubrey Serracold, whose wife's passionate committment to the Socialist agenda may hurt his chances. Equally damaging is her dalliance with spiritualism. Indeed, she is one of the three participants in a late-night seance that becomes the swan song of stylish clairvoyant Maude Lamont. For the next morning, the maid finds Lamont's brutally murdered body in the seance room of the house on Southampton Row. To Pitt's heavy burdens is now added the investigation of this most baffling crime. Meanwhile, his wife, Charlotte, and their children are enjoying the country vacation that Pitt has been denied-unawarethat they, too, are deeply endangered by the same fanatical forces hovering over the steadfast Pitt.

The Pacific Northwest--Oregon, Washington State, parts of northern California, and Canadian British Columbia--is a region of staggering beauty. From the area's stunning expanse of forests to its wild seashore to its innumerable lakes and rivers to the imposing snow-clad peaks of Ranier, Hood, and Shasta, the area is--without much hyperbole--spectacular, panoramic, and sublime. "Pacific Northwest: A Photographic Tour takes the reader on an extraordinary journey faithfully captured by the lens of photographer Carol M. Highsmith. It is a trip of incredible variety that starts with a visit to California's thirty-three-mile "Avenue of the Giants" near the coast along U.S. Route 101--nicknamed the "Redwood Highway." It passes by the sapphire-blue Crater Lake, which was formed by the eruption of Mount Mazama 7,700 years ago, and continues through Portland, Oregon's largest city. In Washington, there are stops at the devastation of Mount Saint Helens volcano and Stampede Pass, the purported home of "Sasquatch, or "Bigfoot." In Seattle, there is the famed Space Needle and the popular Underground Seattle Tour takes visitors to the street level that existed more than a century ago. Across the border in Canada is Vancouver with its incredible skyline, whose motto is "Spectacular by Nature." In Victoria, there is the dazzling British Columbia Parliament Building complex which is outlined by more than three thousand lights at night. And nearby is Butchart Gardens, fifty acres of the world's most magnificent floral paintings. These and many more points of interest await the reader. With its wonderful photos and informative text, "Pacific Northwest: A Photographic Tour makes an excellent giftfor anyone who has visited or wishes to visit this incomparable region.
