London, 1841. Mr Jeremiah Blake and Captain William Avery, recently returned from India, are invited by Viscount Allington to examine the particulars of a grisly pair of murders. Two printers from the seditious gutter presses have been brutally dispatched in distinct but similar circumstances. Fearing the deaths will stoke the fires of Chartism sweeping the capital, Allington hopes Blake and Avery's determination to uncover the truth will solve these crimes and help restore civic order. But there are others who seem equally determined that the pair shall fail . . .

Recenzii
Vividly
realised...the
second
outing
for
[Blake
and
Avery]
is
even
more
fun,
with
the
same
blend
of
derring-do
and
elegant
writing.
..Delicious
stuff.
Witty and unfailingly readable...its contemporary resonance [is] all the more effective for being implicit.
An entertaining stew of blackmail, murder, cross-dressing and incomprehensible slang ... like Dickens, Carter's righteous anger at Victorian hypocrisy does not prevent her from revelling in it with infectious glee.
While the relationship between the dynamic duo Blake and Avery evolves in a nuanced, tender way the real star of the show in this complex, clever novel is London itself.
The Strangler Vinewas a promising and enjoyable debut - plenty of action, rich in historical detail, all crowned with a very clever twist. Carter has proved withThe Infidel Stainthat it was not a one-off.
If this series is not bought for film, it would be another mark of the corporate stupidity that lost the BBC Ripper Street. It is, however, far more pleasurable and impressive to read.
Vivid...done with brio.
A sinister tale involving political revolution, printers and porn, The Infidel Stain drips with period atmosphere.
Compelling... Carter's book is historical crime fiction at its best.
