A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The explosion was heard twenty miles away. It killed boatmen and wrecked the exotic villa of Lawrence Alma-Tadema, the fashionable St John s Wood artist. But what caused the 1874 Regent s Park explosion? Fenian bombs? Sabotage by rival railways or other firms? Or was it something personal?

And whose was the other body found in the canal? An artist s model? The missing King s Cross barmaid? Or another victim of the so-called Thames murderer?

As he struggles to find the answers, Scotland Yard s Sergeant Ernest Best straddles the conflicting worlds of art, wealth and privilege and that of the poverty-stricken London boatman in an intriguing mystery that will change his life forever.

The first book in the Detective Sergeant Best series.
