Commissioned to find the precious cargo of ivory stolen by river thieves from the hold of Clement Louvain's ocean-going schooner, private enquiry agent William Monk is intrigued by his new surroundings. The waterfront of the River Thames is a world unto itself, but without the help of the famed River Police, Monk hardly stands a chance of retrieving the ivory or tracking down the murderous men who killed an innocent crew member while robbing Louvain's ship. Not so coincidentally, Monk's wife Hester, who operates a shelter for sick and injured women of the streets, discovers that a woman with a mysterious connection to Louvain may hold the key to the missing ivory as well as many more deaths aboard his ship than the one Monk knows about. Perry's trademarked plotting, characterization, and verisimilitude in recreating Victorian London gleam brilliantly in this well-crafted historical mystery. --Jane Adams

Book Description

In her new masterpiece featuring private inquiry agent William Monk, New York Times bestselling novelist Anne Perry displays her prodigious writing talent. With insight, compassion, and a portraitist’s genius, Perry illuminates the shifting tide of emotions encompassing Queen Victoria’s London and the people who live there—aristocrats, brothel owners, thieves, Dickensian ruffians, and their evil keepers. She takes us through dangerous backstreets where the poor eke out their humble livings, and into the mansions of the rich, safe and secure in their privileged lives. Or so they believe. . . .

William Monk knows London’s streets like the back of his hand; after all, they are where he earns his living. But the river Thames and its teeming docks— where towering schooners and clipper ships unload their fabulous cargoes and wharf rats and night plunderers ply their trades—is unknown territory.

Only dire need persuades him to accept an assignment from shipping magnate Clement Louvain to investigate the theft of a cargo of African ivory from Louvain’s recently docked schooner, the Maude Idris. Monk is desperate for work, not only to feed himself and his wife, Hester, but to keep open the doors of Hester’s clinic, a last resort for sick and starving street women.

But he wonders: Why didn’t Louvain report the ivory theft directly to the River Police? Why did he warn Monk not to investigate the murder of one of the Maude Idris crew? Even more mysterious, why has Louvain brought to Hester’s clinic a desperately ill woman who he claims is the discarded mistress of an old friend? Neither Hester nor Monk anticipates the nightmare answers to these questions . . . nor the trap that soon so fatefully ensnares them.

In this magnificent novel, Anne Perry holds the reader spellbound, as Monk and Hester struggle to save themselves and their world from a catastrophe whose dimensions they can scarcely measure.

4 out of 5 stars Characters lure reader !.......2007-05-11

The title of the novel gives the reader an excellent focus on characterization. What seems obvious turns out to be illusory and, at times, frustrating. Hester continues to be noble to a fault. Monk glowers his way through the docks where he encounters minor characters who assume major importance because they are written so well. Lady Callandra, like the tide, recedes which is disconcerting for readers who enjoy her wit and social conscience. Rathbone meanders aimlessly while deciding whether to declare his intentions or remain removed from personal happiness. Louvain's personal villainy is barely credible. It is not only the tide that shifts in this novel and that reality makes Perry's writing an above average effort in its creation of nineteenth century London.
The book is well worth the time spent in reading if only to discover the rat catcher and his dog, the mudlark, the medical crow, and the dock police. Perry knows how to draw characters who lure the reader. One is repeatedly enthralled by them and then even moved to research the social issues inspired by their presence in the novel. It is that social subtext
which raises Perry's work above many others, making this flawed novel worth reading.

5 out of 5 stars Monk enters a new phase in his life.......2006-11-11

I came late to Anne Perry's Monk series - I had read all the Thomas and Charlotte Pitt series first - but am now firmly hooked.
This is a book of change for the characters - several large changes occur that will greatly affect the character's lives beyond this book. There are also several new characters (esp. the personable mudlark Scuff) who hopefully have joined the core cast and will be seen in future books.
Overall this is one of the best books of the Monk series in terms of digging in and revealing more of the inner lives of this series' characters.

5 out of 5 stars Perry's best yet.......2006-09-28

I found Anne Perry almost 20 years ago (to the best of my memory), when her Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series was just beginning and the Monk series didn't exist yet. I have read them all, thoroughly enjoyed them all, but let's face it -- after more than 30 books set in roughly the same time period, some of them tend to feel a bit repetitive (to the point that I get confused when I go to buy the latest paperbacks).

Not so "The Shifting Tide." I don't care what other reviewers here have said about unbelievable characters and historical inaccuracies; this is FICTION, and brilliantly drawn. You see the sights, feel the emotions, believe in the characters. In addition, you experience the concerns and perspectives of an entirely different era as if you were there (when was the last time you seriously tried to envision a plague epidemic?). Finally, the sweet parts are genuinely sweet, but when it's time to visit the dark side, it's a dark and nasty vision that sticks in your head after you close the book.

In my opinion, this is by far Perry's best novel yet. I LOVED it and can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

1 out of 5 stars Out of her element.......2006-07-31

The author is obviously as out of her element as Inspector Monk, and clearly has little knowledge of the ships, seafaring, nautical quarantine requirements, etc. of the 1860's. Her characters are hardly believable: Sutton, the rat exterminator and Dr. Crow are perhaps the worst examples, but not the only ones. Would a proper young lady be picked up in a cab without a chaperon to go to a function? Very disappointing.

2 out of 5 stars Not up to the usual high standards.......2006-07-22

The thrilling mystery story that we have come to expect from Anne Perry takes a new twist in this book. Perhaps inspired by true events in 1898 Vienna, where three persons died of plague, this is not so much a story of crime but of survival.
Unfortunately other qualitites that we have also come to expect from this author, like sound research and verisimilitude, are absent here. There are glaring gaps in logic, occasional sloppy proofing, and, at least as I understand the nature of plague, serious factual mistakes. This is too bad, since the story could have been a fitting installment in the quest of the protagonists for social improvement in mid-19th century London.
As it is, the book gave me the impression that perhaps Anne Perry has currently too many irons in the fire and no longer spends enough time on the kind of careful work that characterized her earlier novels.

    Jerry Jay Carroll's second novel, Inhuman Beings, is a cynical, hilarious blend of Raymond Chandler and Philip K. Dick. Former cop Goodwin Armstrong finds his detective agency getting mysteriously muscled out of business, and his only lead is a wacky dame who calls herself Princess Dulay. The princess has detected psychic vibrations indicating that aliens--in a ship the size of a bowling ball--have invaded Earth. It's no joke to Armstrong, as first his fleabag hotel mysteriously explodes, and then his contacts begin to disappear--or worse, start acting very unlike themselves. He can't trust anyone, or anything, as elevators plummet, security cameras swivel to watch his movements, and kamikaze seagulls plunge through skylights to attack him. Carroll's dialogue is witty, his hero engaging, and his story swift-paced. Altogether, Inhuman Beings is a satisfying science fiction adventure that proves to be just as entertaining as Carroll's first novel, the lighthearted fantasy Top Dog. --Blaise Selby

    Book Description

    Jerry Carroll's wonderful literary fantasy Top Dog introduced readers to a major new talent--and garnered stunning praise from Entertainment Weekly, San Francisco Chronicle, Richard North Patterson, and Martin Cruz Smith. Now, he transcends the genre with a story as witty as Men in Black, as dark as Independence Day, and as original as any fiction being written today. Goodwin Armstrong is an ex-cop turned private eye. He's seen misery, pain, and paranoia before--and that was just during his divorce. But things in San Francisco are getting strange and dangerous, and he's running out of explanations. It starts with the sleazeball hotel where he's staying--it burns down in a flash of electric blue light. Security and traffic cameras pan to follow him. Someone seems to know his every move. But why? His newest client is a psychic who feels in her very soul that something bad, something inhuman, is about to happen. And the gun in his pocket and the brain in his head won't be enough to fight it.

    3 out of 5 stars The Puppet Masters by way of Raymond Chandler.......2007-10-05

    Jerry Jay Carroll's first book, the charming Top Dog, was variously described as "Kafka meets Tolkien" and "Alice in Wonderland meets Wall Street." These descriptions are for the most part accurate, as Carroll chronicles the spiritual journey of a corporate raider who's been transformed into a dog and transported into an alternate reality. Like his debut, his sophomore effort is also a hybrid, best described as "The Puppet Masters almost meets Chandler."

    The early chapters are engaging, as readers are introduced to the novel's narrator and hero, private detective Goodwin Armstrong. Imprisoned, Armstrong reflects on the events that lead to his incarceration. The detective, it seems, has stumbled on an alien invasion of earth, an invasion that began several weeks earlier in his hometown of San Francisco.

    A new company, Security Concerns, begins opening franchises in the city by the bay, using low bids to undercut their competition, private detectives like Armstrong. Feeling the squeeze, Armstrong is forced to accept cases he would otherwise reject. One such client, a flamboyant psychic named Princess Dulay, brings him an especially bizarre tale of aliens traveling towards earth, intent on conquest. She tells him the aliens are wary of her and her fellow psychics, due to their sensitive natures. Fearful, she wants to hire him as her bodyguard. He scoffs, but, mindful of his precarious economic position, agrees.

    Promptly after accepting the assignment, Armstrong's hotel is destroyed in a flash of blue light. Other odd things happen--security cameras swivel to follow him, and public officials and members of the media disappear, only to resurface as emotionless zombies. Digging further into these strange events, Armstrong discovers that these people are controlled by the aliens, whose actual physical form resembles that of a worm. His investigation threatens the aliens' plans, and they set out to destroy him, framing him for the murder of Princess Dulay.

    Unable to convince others of the threat, Armstrong takes matters into his own hands, waging a one man war against the aliens. Discerning a link between Security Concerns and the aliens, he bombs their San Francisco office. Fleeing from the law and the aliens, he takes over a TV station and forces its personnel to broadcast his warning to the nation. Finally, he attacks Security Concerns' head office in Atlanta using a black market missile luancher. Shortly after that attack, Armstrong's luck runs out--he is captured by his foes, who by this time have penetrated all levels of society, including the federal government.

    As I said, a promising beginning with a strong follow through, reminiscent of Finney's Invasion of The Body Snatchers, but updated for the nineties. Carroll builds the tension and paranoia nicely, convincing readers of the conspiracy even as the skeptical Armstrong convinces himself. The mood is certainly dire, because we know he's been captured, and is awaiting execution. The last fifth of the book however, manages to dissipate the accumulated tension.

    At that point, the novel segues into real time, and becomes more like the least effective of its progenitors, Heinlein's Puppet Masters. Armstrong is rescued from the prison, but it's a setup--the aliens want to use him to gain access to the President, who has not yet been assimilated. Armstrong realizes this in time to save his commander in chief. The President, Armstrong and other unassimilated compatriots fight a guerrilla war against the aliens, which culminates in an explosive but predictable finale.

    In Top Dog, Carroll demonstrated his ability to dress an old premise in new clothes, and, in the process deliver something original--his rendering of the moral and emotional transformation of a heartless Wall Street raider gave that novel's Tolkienesque premise a novel spin. In Inhuman Beings, however, Armstrong is one dimensional. Initially, Carroll portrays him as a stereotypical hard-boiled detective, later as a Ramboesque action hero. The plot, which showed glimmers of originality, ultimately loses steam. Failing to follow his original premise to a grimmer, but perhaps a more satisfying conclusion, Carroll instead gives us an ending ripped right out of a pulp magazine.

    While it might be true that there are no new ideas, a good writer still feels obligated to bring something new to the table, whether it be the power of his prose or of his own particular vision. It's hard for writers NOT to borrow--Carroll must certainly realize this, given the nature of his first two books. But, instead of embracing his influences, Carroll seems almost self conscious about them. In a scene involving an attack by seagulls (animals are also susceptible to alien control), he mentions Hitchcock; after some especially harrowing gunplay, he makes a clumsy reference to Sam Spade.

    Retellings of familiar stories are okay when they're done well. After all, if Bram Stoker didn't write Dracula, we might never have been treated to Salem's Lot. The trick is to dust off the old premise and inject some new life into it. This rehashing of the standard alien invasion story almost succeeds in doing that, but is betrayed by its contrived ending--the book's juvenile finale transforms it into a young adult novel, rather than the effective synthesis of two genres I had originally perceived. Even so, Carroll is worth watching. His writing has undeniable energy, charm and wit, which, provided he finds the proper inspiration, should enable him to create something truly notable.

    3 out of 5 stars Sometimes Less is More.......2007-06-10

    Detective novels are nothing new, and neither are invaders from beyond stories, but you don't get many crossbreeds of the two outside of the hardcore futuristic sci-fi realm. In this regard, Inhuman Beings is an enjoyable treat.

    Carroll's novel is tightly written, short and sweet the way detective novels should be. He doesn't skimp on the characters or back story, just the excessive pages of prose some authors veer off in to explain it.

    It may seem unusual to complain about getting more than you asked for, but that is my major problem with the novel. The book description promises a lone detective suddenly involved in a subversive alien invasion, and Carroll delivers the goods right away, keeping a steady pace and developing the dangers at a quick and steady pace. However, the third part of the book changes gears with the involvement of government officials that eventually buy into the main character's claims of an alien attack, and a story of a lone man against insurmountable odds becomes a low-budget retelling of Independence Day or Invaders from Mars. It isn't exactly a bad change, but it was the former story I read the book for, not the latter.

    Also, as good as the book is on keeping the reader interested in the main character, this is mainly due to the pace and tension his lone crusader status affords him. As soon as he becomes part of an underground force battling the aliens, the tone and feeling of the book is lost, along with a great deal of the tension.

    In short, I enjoyed the book that I first picked up to read, but it wasn't the same book I eventually put down.

    4 out of 5 stars alien paranoia!.......2005-09-16

    i don't know carroll or "top dog" so I'm coming at this from the sf side, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's got a Heinlein feel to it, ca. Puppet Masters.

    1 out of 5 stars Not a good book.......2004-06-04

    I picked up a copy of "Inhuman Beings" at a used book store after reading the back cover description. I was expecting a paranoid, gritty, detective story with paranormal tendencies. Instead, it turned out to be a third-rate science fiction / detective story that overused every cliché attached to the genres. I won't bore you with a plot summary, but I will tell you why this book didn't work. The main character is two dimensional and predictable. The plot is thin and full of holes. Clichés run from "the down on his luck detective" to "the all-American, gun wielding president" to "the kindly old man who sacrifices himself for the greater good". The book is mainly dialog driven which gets annoying and scenes jump around faster than a music video. There is nothing original about the dialog and the story (which was stripped straight out of "Invaders of the Body Snatchers") is unrealistic, patronizing, and immature (ex: the main protagonist is given free decision making over military actions because he knew of the "alien menace" first). The author makes excuses for his character's shortcomings through first-person narrative which leads the reader to believe he knew from the start this was a bad venture. I normally don't write bad reviews, but it was the only way I could feel satisfied for the part of my life wasted by reading this. For good hard-boiled sci-fi stories, do yourself a favor and check out some Philip K. Dick or 1940s-60s Sci-Fi short story collections.

    3 out of 5 stars Lots of Fun.......2001-07-06

    Jerry Jay Carroll's "Inhuman Beings" is a nicely written and highly entertaining novel that moves swiftly from start to finish, despite the fact that the plot is very familiar. It's your basic down and out hero encounters aliens "body snatching" human beings and taking them over as part of a large scale invasion of the planet. I particularly enjoyed the early and middle stages of this novel but was somewhat disappointed with the late stages, as in many ways it degenerated into an "Independence Day"-like finale. But it's lots of fun and if you enjoy this sort of storyline it's worth reading. Certainly better books with basically identical themes are Jack Finney's classic "Body Snatchers" (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) or Heinlein's "The Puppet Masters". Or, if you're looking for a horror twist where a down and out P.I. encounters demons and satanic forces (instead of aliens), William Hjortsberg's "Falling Angel" (the novel on which the film "Angel Heart" was based), or Greg F. Gifune's "Drago Descending" are also terrific reads. Overall, Carroll's "Inhuman Beings" is a fine novel and is certainly worth reading, but if you're looking for the definitive novel of this kind, read Jack Finney's "Body Snatchers" first.

              5 out of 5 stars Justin Wilson's Homegrown Louisiana Cookin'.......2007-01-10

              Excellent cookbook. Easy to follow receipes. My husband pours over that book and tries a new one each week. He cooks on the weekends. I am more of a meat and potatoes eater but I have liked everything he has tried so far.

              5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-01-04

              I love this book! Can't wait to try out some of the recipes. I really enjoy the pictures and stories also! Worth the cost!

              5 out of 5 stars Good Cajun Food...... Gar-on-tee!!!!.......2004-07-01

              I had only recently heard of Justin Wilson. My husband and I love cajun food and I wanted to learn how to make it at home. Someone told me about him and a new fan was born!!! My husband bought me this book and another of Justin's to start out with.

              The recipes are simple and delicious. I had no trouble making them, even as a first-timer. You can interchange a lot of the different kinds of meat as well - for example with the crawfish etoufee, we have made with shrimp as well as petite lobster.

              The little stories in his book are entertaining as well. If you enjoy eating cajun, you will love this book!!!

              5 out of 5 stars Whoooo Boy, dat some good eatin'........2002-09-20

              I used to watch Justin Wilson's cooking show on PBS. His wit made the show worthwhile. The recipes in this book make it worthwhile. I haven't made them all, but the ones I did make are outstanding. My hat's off to Justin. Jus' add a little wine wit dat and den it's did.

              5 out of 5 stars To the reader from Queenstown Maryland........2001-11-19

              I doubt very seriously you own this book. For one, to say Justin Wilson is not from Cajun Country is like saying the Pope isn't Catholic. (just so you know Justin was born and reared in Amite, LA) And anyone familiar with cajun or creole cooking knows that the TRINITY is Onions, Green Pepper, and Celery (CELERY, not garlic, though garlic is very good, its not part of the trinity). Further to call Justin Wilson a mediocre man is ludicrous. Justin Wilson was doing his thing long before that "thing" got you your own sitcom. I am afraid you (and the guy from Alabama) have Justin confused with another popular so called "cajun" chef. Jutin Wilson is as authentic as they come. His recipes are as authentic as they come. They are ground in the "old" ways. This cookbook is considered a "bible" in many kitchens, and I HIGHLY reccommend it to anyone interested in learning a little bit about TRUE cajun cooking from a MAN who learned his technique from those passed down from generations. Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!.
