About the Daniel Pitt series

Daniel Pitt is the son of Thomas and Charlotte Pitt, grown up and working as a junior barrister in London in the years just before and after the First World War, a full generation on from his parents' Victorian cases. Anne Perry moves the series' focus from police investigation to the courtroom: Daniel works for a small, principled law firm and the books are built around trial strategy and cross-examination as much as detection, with his father's old Special Branch connections and his mother's social instincts surfacing occasionally as background rather than driving the plots directly. He's frequently paired with Miriam fford Croft, a scientifically trained woman shut out of formal medical practice by the era's rules, whose forensic knowledge supplies evidence Daniel can't get any other way, and their partnership deepens across the six novels alongside the courtroom cases.

Set against the shadow of the First World War and its aftermath, the series trades the drawing-room murders of the Pitt novels for period-appropriate courtroom drama, espionage-adjacent conspiracies and questions of wartime loyalty, while keeping Perry's interest in how institutions protect the powerful. It's a direct continuation of the Pitt family's story rather than a full reboot, and familiarity with Thomas and Charlotte deepens several plot threads, though the books are written to work for readers meeting the family for the first time.
