Down the dark river. Odden K.

London, 1878. A mysterious crime was committed on the Thames - the body of a young girl was found among rose petals in a boat floating downstream. The deceased is the daughter of a famous judge, and the investigation takes into her hands senior inspector Scotland-Yard Michael Corravan. A former boxer and a port worker from a seedy London East End, Corravan has a good street instinct and dexterity in searching for evidence, but he is very surprised when exactly a week later a dead woman is found in a boat, and then the third... It gradually becomes clear that river Murders can be associated with some terrible fact of injustice in the past, for which someone vowed to brutally take revenge. The corravan must get to the bottom of the truth before London plunges into a state of panic and before the killer requires another innocent sacrifice.
