Harris and Anne Perry, a fatal disaster on the Thames and a roiling political conflict set the stage for Karen Odden's second Inspector Corravan historical mystery.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeptember 1878.\u003c\/b\u003e One night, as the pleasure boat the\u003ci\u003e Princess Alice\u003c\/i\u003e makes her daily trip up the Thames, she collides with the Bywell Castle, a huge iron-hulled collier. The \u003ci\u003ePrincess Alice\u003c\/i\u003e shears apart, throwing all 600 passengers into the river; only 130 survive. It is the worst maritime disaster London has ever seen, and early clues point to sabotage by the Irish Republican Brotherhood, who believe violence is the path to restoring Irish Home Rule. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Scotland Yard Inspector Michael Corravan, born in Ireland and adopted by the Irish Doyle family, the case presents a challenge. Accused by the Home Office of willfully disregarding the obvious conclusion, and berated by his Irish friends for bowing to prejudice, Corravan doggedly pursues the truth, knowing that if the Princess Alice disaster is pinned on the IRB, hopes for Home Rule could be dashed forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCorrovan's dilemma is compounded by Colin, the youngest Doyle, who has joined James McCabe's Irish gang. As violence in Whitechapel rises, Corravan strikes a deal with McCabe to get Colin out of harm's way. But unbeknownst to Corravan, Colin bears longstanding resentments against his adopted brother and scorns his help. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the newspapers link the IRB to further accidents, London threatens to devolve into terror and chaos. With the help of his young colleague, the loyal Mr. Stiles, and his friend Belinda Gale, Corravan uncovers the harrowing truth--one that will shake his faith in his countrymen, the law, and himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Odden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639101195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639101191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crooked Lane Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.20w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Agatha Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2022","brand":"Karen Odden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992782471423,"sku":"9781639101191","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f5e9bb7-c9a4-4654-9740-14743755b02e.jpg?v=1683320764","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/under-a-veiled-moon-karen-odden-9781639101191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
