商品簡介
London: 1840. The economy is sliding into recession; gangs of unemployed workers roam the streets; the city is on the verge of anarchy and a murderer is prowling the backstreets and taverns of the capital.
Pyke, still grieving over the death of his wife and struggling to shoulder his responsibilities as a father, is in debtors' prison, but Fitzroy Tilling, now head of the new Metropolitan Police Force, has thrown him a lifeline. He wants Pyke to investigate the brutal death of a young mulatto woman, recently arrived from Jamaica, and apparently working as a prostitute. Tilling's police force are concentrating all their resources on the suspicious death of an influential aristocrat, so Pyke must work alone.
It is not long before Pyke begins to suspect that he has stumbled on something that reaches much further than this single murder. His investigation takes him from the London docks to the sugar plantations of Jamaica, from a faded colonial mansion to the back-street pornography shops of The Strand, in a struggle against a ruthless enemy, as well as demons of his own.
