The American Civil War has just begun, and London arms dealer Daniel Alberton is becoming a very wealthy man. His quiet dinner party seems remote indeed from the passions rending America. Yet investigator William Monk and his bride, Hester, sense growing tensions and barely concealed violence. For two of the guests are Americans, each vying to buy Alberton's armaments. Soon Monk and Hester's forebodings are fulfilled as one member of the party is brutally murdered and two others disappear-- along with Alberton's entire inventory of weapons. As Monk and Hester track the man they believe to be the murderer all the way to Washington, D.C., and the bloody battlefield at Manassas, \u003ci\u003eSlaves of Obsession\u003c\/i\u003e twists and turns like a powder-keg fuse and holds the reader breathless and spellbound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne Perry\u003c\/b\u003e is the bestselling author of two acclaimed series set in Victorian England: the William Monk novels, including \u003ci\u003eBlind Justice\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Sunless Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt novels, including \u003ci\u003eDeath on Blackheath\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMidnight at Marble Arch. \u003c\/i\u003eShe is also the author of a series of five World War I novels, as well as eleven holiday novels, most recently \u003ci\u003eA New York Christmas, \u003c\/i\u003e and a historical novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Sheen on the Silk, \u003c\/i\u003e set in the Ottoman Empire.
