- Albert Newsome (Fictitious character), Police, Fiction, History
A death on Waterloo bridge, a body in the river near Wapping, a lady robbed on Wych Street all common enough daily incidents in early Victorian London. But when an outrageous theft is committed at the port, the clues from these seemingly unconnected crimes soon point irresistibly to a mystery deeper and murkier than the Thames itself.
