Blood on the water [large print] / Anne Perry.
William Monk witnesses the explosion of the pleasure boat "Princess Mary", which sends to their deaths nearly two hundred merrymakers. As commander of the River Police, Monk should handle the case, but the investigation is turned over to the Metropolitan Police. An Egyptian man is swiftly caught, tried, and sentenced to die. But when Monk presents evidence that Habib Beshara was elsewhere at the time of the blast, the investigation is hastily turned over to him. Is the crime connected with the soon-to-be-opened Suez Canal, which will benefit the British shipping companies? Or did innocent people drown to ensure the death of just one?
