A young man, recently released from prison, mourning his dead wife, is nearly at the end of his rope. He’s ready to throw himself off Westminster Bridge and give it all up. Then he reads an ad for a position and, with little hope, applies.
To his surprise, he is hired and discovers the world of ‘enquiry agents’ wherein ‘some danger involved’ is an apt description.
A good start to the series, with grimness, grime and misery depicted well. The mystery isn’t bad either, and the characters are well drawn.
