About This Book

The narrative begins aboard a ship carrying prisoners and shifts to London, where intersecting figures from police, society, and criminology become involved in a complicated case. A past episode in which a lowly convict once saved a young woman sets in motion legal inquiries, social scrutiny, and moral dilemmas. The story alternates between courtroom scenes, private conferences, and public festivities as characters pursue truth, mount defenses, and attempt to evade consequences. Tension builds through pursuits, a hazardous flight and a fogbound episode, culminating in confrontations near the river that bring past actions into present resolution.
