"The start of it was a tidy little riot at the

Tottenham Court end of Oxford Street on a

strangely dark late afternoon of February.

in the sorrowful winter of 1820."

And the start of it that directly involved Jeremy

Sturrock in the most urgent investigation of his

career as Chief Officer of the Bow Street Police

Force was "an unwanted, unknown, and damned

unwelcome corpse" lying at the outer door of

Sturrock s chambers in Soho Square. Almost a

corpse, really, the dying man has life enough to

gasp out a few puzzling words before he truly

expires. Shots ring out, and the corpse is spirited

away by unseen hands.

"A prank of that kind," Sturrock observes,

"requests investigation." What is his shock, then,

to discover the next morning that the new Chief

Magistrate, waving a letter of complaint about

Sturrock from a mysterious "lady," suspends him

from the force! But the policeman is not deterred.

Investigate he will, even though his only allies are

his horrible clerk, Master Maggsy, and his dim-

witted sporting coachman, Jagger.

The cryptic dying statement and a pouch of

unusual tobacco are the only clues. Little enough,

but Sturrock can go far on little. Jagger is set upon

and nearly drowned, two more murders take

place, and all this pales when Sturrock begins to

uncover a plot that will spell disaster to the entire

nation. Through London s crooked streets and

winding lanes, through the city s rough taprooms
