Buy the book from:
Detective Sergeant James Mendick travels to Dundee to collect a prisoner, expecting a routine journey back to London. Instead, local events keep him in the industrial city and involve him in a case whose violence reaches across families, workplaces and institutions that would prefer an outsider not to investigate too closely.
Dundee’s mills, closes and expanding transport links provide more than atmosphere. The mystery examines how poverty, civic ambition and personal reputation shaped access to justice in a nineteenth-century city where a detective depended on cooperation from people who had little reason to trust the police.
