Description
During the bitter winter of 1864, newly appointed Thames River Police Superintendent William Monk faces a series of mysterious deaths tied to a flawed sewer construction project. With his authority still uncertain and his men watching closely, Monk must navigate a dangerous investigation that reaches from the river’s darkness into the highest levels of Victorian society. As evidence exposes corruption, greed, and deadly negligence, he is forced to confront powerful interests determined to keep the truth buried. A tense historical mystery, the novel combines atmospheric period detail with a searching exploration of justice, duty, and the human cost of progress.
