1864. Inspector William Monk, of the Thames River Police, must face a dangerous foe.

At trial, however, justice does not prevail and Phillips is freed. Monk, determined to prove Phillips' guilt, begins the investigation again. But, as he ventures into London's murky underworld, he realises that Durban may have had his own reasons for pursuing Phillips and, shockingly, that secret support for Phillips may reach further into civilised society than anyone could ever imagine ...
