Synopsis
William Monk acaba de incorporarse a la River Police. Sustituye a su amigo Durban, quien antes de morir designó a su sustituto. La novela comienza con una trepidante persecución. Monk y su ayudante Orme consiguen dar alcance a Jericho Phillips, asesino de un niño al que, al parecer, explotaba sexualmente. Monk está convencido de que el criminal acabará en la horca, pero no sabe que un fiel amigo suyo, el abogado Oliver Rathbone, ha recibido el encargo de defender a Jericho Phillips.
Great Britain’s merchant ships unload the treasures of the world. And here, sex merchants ply their lucrative trade. The kingpin of this dark realm is Jericho Phillips, who seems far beyond the reach of the law. But when thirteen-year-old Fig is found with his throat cut, Commander William Monk of the River Police swears that Phillips will hang for this abomination.
