What this book is about
A notorious criminal known as Jericho Phillips runs a vile operation along the Thames docks, exploiting the most vulnerable children of London's waterfront. When he is acquitted on a legal technicality, William Monk knows he must find another way to bring him to justice — before more children suffer. The sixteenth William Monk novel is one of the series' darkest and most morally urgent entries, confronting child exploitation and the failures of the justice system head-on.
