- Summary
- William Monk knows London's streets like the back of his hand; after all, they are where he earns his living. But the river Thames and its teeming docks are unknown territory. Only dire need persuades him to accept an assignment from shipping magnate Clement Louvain to investigate the theft of a cargo of African ivory from Louvain's recently docked schooner, the Maude Idris. Monk is desperate for work, not only to feed himself and his wife, Hester, but to keep open the doors of her clinic, a last resort for sick and starving street women. But he wonders: why didn't Louvain report the theft to the police? Why did he warn Monk not to investigate the murder of one of the Maude Idris crew? And why has Louvain brought to Hester's clinic a desperately ill woman who, he claims, is the discarded mistress of an old friend?
